What else can I help you with?
What is the range around the Pacific ocean where volcanoes mainly occur?
The Ring of Fire
What causes the formation of the Ring of Fire?
Volcanoes around the Ring of Fire occur mainly where moving plates collide
Where do volcanoes occur the most?
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
Most volcanoes are found along the edges of tectonic plates where they interact, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. This is where most of Earth's volcanic activity occurs due to the movement and collisions of these plates.
What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
What seasons do volcanoes occur?
volcanoes can occur in any season
Does regional metamorphism occur under volcanoes?
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Why do most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean?
Most volcanoes and earthquakes occur around the Pacific Ocean basin in a roughly horseshoe shaped ring called the Rim or Ring of Fire. This is where the seismic activity is most intense due to the movement of the tectonic plates.
What place in the world do volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes occur in areas where tectonic plates meet, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which includes countries like Indonesia, Japan, and the west coast of the Americas. They can also be found along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is being formed.
Describe volcano distribution?
Volcanoes are distributed as they are because most occur at the boundaries of the world's tectonic plates. Subducted crust rises as magma at constructive or destructive plate boundaries, and escapes through vents in the crust, often forming volcanoes on the surface. The only exceptions to volcanoes at plate boundaries are what are known as "hot-spot" volcanoes, that occur where a particular section of the Earth's crust is very thin and being heated by the mantle below. An example of this would be the Hawaiian Islands.
