This is where the fault lines of the North American and Pacific plate meet, an areas where there is lots of earthquakes, tsunamis (caused by quakes) and volcanoes. Underneath these cracks in the Earth is magma (lava inside the earth), every once in a while, this magma will come to the surface and form volcanoes. and that is basically it

About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.
How is volcanoes and earthquakes are alike?
They are both along the Ring of Fire.
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.
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes mostly frequently occur?
Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.
A large number of volcanoes and earthquakes occur along the ring of fire because several faults exist at plate boundaries in the region?
True
What might be the hazards at living near the ring of fire?
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the circum-Pacific seismic belt, also known as the Ring ofFire.
Where are the majority of earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to the plate boundaries?
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
Where do most earthquakes and volcanoes happen in the ring of fire?
along the edge of the pacific plate
