What are some evidence of plate tectonics?
The ring of fire.
How does the theory of plate tectonics explain the formation of the ring of fire?
The plate tectonics explains the locations of volcanoes. Each continent sits on one or more large bases tectonic plates. As the plates move, the continents atop them move, an effect called continental drift.
Volcanoes in the ring of fire are supplied with magma rising from what?
The magma for volcanoes comes from the lower crust and the upper mantle. The movement of plate tectonics help create the conditions that melt rock which rises.
How are volcanoes related to earth?
Volcanoes are found at Convergent and Divergent plate boundaries, where Plate Tectonics is most active. Magma is produced along plate boundaries, like the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate, forming volcanoes.
What is the earthquake and volcano prone area?
the ring of fire and places near plate boundaries
What does the Ring of fire have to do with the plate tectonics?
The "Ring of Fire" refers to a string of volcanoes, which create a ring in the Pacific. The relevance to plate tectonics, is that volcanoes are created by two plates coming together and pushing up on each other to create the volcano. The Ring of Fire is evidence of high plate tectonic movement in that particular area and outlines where the plates in that area come together.

What type of plate is the ring of fire?
volcano
What are the crustal features of the land that are formed by plate tectonics?
Crustal features created by plate tectonics include mountains (e.g. Himalayas), trenches (e.g. Mariana trench), volcanoes (see the Ring of Fire), ocean ridges (Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and rift zones (regions lateral to a volcano that lava flows from).
What were the two plate tectonics that formed the ring of fire?
There are more than two plates involved in the ring of fire.

Why is Australia not in an earthquake volcano area?
Because Austrailia is NOT on the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a "ring" where volcanoes and earthquakes mark. Also, Austrailia doesn't touch a plate, but I don't mean a DINNER plate. I mean a LAND plate. Earthquakes moastly happen when two plates overlap and shake the land or a volcano errupts.
What is the earthquake and volcano prone area?
the ring of fire and places near plate boundaries
What is the pacific volcano belt?
pacific volcano belt is also called ring of fire. if u draw a red line along the countries surrounding pacific ocean in a blank world map u get the belt..formed because of plate tectonics and lithosphere collisions and a very active place for earthquakes and volcanoes.
Where are volcanos most common?
The ring of fire!! Or the edges of tectonic plates.
