What does the ring of fire have to do with the number of earthquakes and volcanoes japan?

The Ring of Fire is also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The yellow line is the location of the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is bascically where the Earth's tectonic plates have spread apart and cracked, allowing warm lava to rise and causing many earthquakes and volcanoes. Also, the plates here often shift and that is why there are often tsunamis. Tsunamis are caused underwater by onshore earthquakes that are very powerful.

What cause earthqukes and volcanic eruptions?

Plate tectonics causes most volcanoes and earthquakes. When plates converge, diverge, or slip along another plate, volcanoes and earthquakes occur. There are other forms of volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Islands where volcanoes are formed over a hot spot in the mantel, and we have small earthquakes here in Wisconsin called rebound earthquakes where the land is actually still rising from the last ice age when it was depressed by the weight of the glaciers. There are other geophysical events that can create earthquakes too such as fracking.

Volcanoes are most often found along plate boundaries. Here, conditions cause rocks in the upper mantle to melt, either by introducing volatiles or by reducing pressure.

Do earthquakes happen in same or different places?

Yes volcanoes generally erupt and form on the Borders between tectonic plates under the earths surface, as the route between the earths core and the surface is weaker on these lines. Same with earthquakes, this is when the tectonic plates move or shift against one another
