Because Austrailia is NOT on the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a "ring" where volcanoes and earthquakes mark. Also, Austrailia doesn't touch a plate, but I don't mean a DINNER plate. I mean a LAND plate. Earthquakes moastly happen when two plates overlap and shake the land or a volcano errupts.

What island continent is not within a major volcano or earthquake area?

I suppose this could be Australia, but it is near New Guinea which has had several earthquakes in the past few decades. Another option is Greenland or Antarctica (yes I'm aware that Greenland isn't a continent). Antarctica has a volcano or two but no earthquakes. While Greenland has no earthquakes and (as far as I know) no volcanoes.

What is going happen when a earthquake happen under a vulcan?

When an earthquake occurs under a volcano, it can potentially trigger an eruption by disrupting the volcano's internal structure and allowing magma to escape to the surface. The shaking can also cause landslides on the volcano's slopes, which can further destabilize the area. Scientists closely monitor seismic activity around volcanoes to assess the risk of eruptions following an earthquake.


What will effect us when the volcano is happening?

An Earthquake.
