Various things happen along the Pacific ring of fire. In places the Pacific Plate slides alongside a Continental Plate. It does not slide smoothly but jerks. When that happens, an earthquake occurs. In other places it slides underneath a Continental Plate. That can lead to an earthquake. When it slides under land, it can lead to a volcano. When it slides under the ocean it can cause a Tsunami. In some places the plate has been still for centuries.

What is along the coast of Mexico and Central America?
The "Ring of Fire". Also the Pacific Ocean.
Where in the world are earthquakes more common?

Where are some places that volcanoes are at?
Most volcanos are along the "Ring of Fire" -- a zone along the edges of the Pacific Ocean. See link below for a picture of the location of the Ring of Fire
Volcanic eruption happens where?
Volcanic eruptions generally occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates, where magma from the Earth's mantle rises to the surface through a vent or fissure in the Earth's crust. This commonly happens along subduction zones, divergent boundaries, or hotspots.
What is the name of an island found on the pacific ring of fire?

Where do most volcanoes happen?
