They are located in a shape of a circle. This is because the Pacific Plate is circular (the Pacific Ocean is on it) and volcanoes form at plate boundaries. It is also called the Pacific Ring of Fire. However, the Pacific Ring of Fire is not entirely circular as it extends into the Philippines too.

∙ 9y agoThe Pacific Ring of Fire is a massive ring of constant tectonic activity. This constant activity produces a large number of earthquakes and weakens the crust enough for volcanoes to easily form. The large number of earthquakes including minor ones sometimes also trigger or speed up eruptions.
