Because of the movement of tectonic plates.
the ring of fire
Most volcanoes are located on what is called "the Ring of Fire", and ring in the pacific that has high tectonic activity.This area is home to 452 volcanoes which is over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes.
The ring of fire
The Ring of Fire
Because most volcanoes are around it.
75%
most volcanoes are along the ring of fire
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
The Ring of Fire, located around the edges of the Pacific Ocean, is known for having the most active volcanoes in the world. Countries such as Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, and the United States have many active volcanoes due to their location along this tectonically active region.
They both happen along the lithosphere (tectonic) plates. For Volcanoes- The Ring of Fire, which is where most of the volcanoes in the world happen, is along tectonic plate boundaries. For Earthquakes- Faults (cracks in the Earth's crust) form above the tectonic plates, and when the two plates of the fault slip, it releases energy, and causes an earthquake to happen.
the ring of fire for valcanoe not the song ring of fire:)
Indonesia has the most volcanoes of any country, with the most active volcanoes on the island of Java. The country is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region known for its seismic and volcanic activity.
