Most volcanoes and earthquakes occur around the Pacific Ocean basin in a roughly horseshoe shaped ring called the Rim or Ring of Fire. This is where the seismic activity is most intense due to the movement of the tectonic plates.
What else can I help you with?
Most earthquakes occur around the outer edge of what ocean?
The pacific ocean
Where does most of the worlds earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
There is a region called the Pacific Ring of Fire, which bounds the entire Pacific Ocean with active convergent tectonic plates that has most of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes.It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes.
What plate matches almost perfectly with the ring of fire where most of the earthquake and volcanoes occur?
The pacific plate :)
Where do volcanoes occur on earth?
Volcanoes occur along tectonic borders. More specifically, a border between an oceanic plate, and a land plate. Oceanic plates are more dense than land plates, which causes them to sink beneath land plates. Along these borders, magma can seep up to above the plates, cool, and form a volcano. This is what caused the "Ring of Fire," a ring of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
What seasons do volcanoes occur?
volcanoes can occur in any season
Where do volcanoes occur the most?
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
What is the range around the Pacific ocean where volcanoes mainly occur?
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.
What do more tsunamis occur in the pacific ocean or in the Atlantic ocean?
in the pacific ocean because of the ring of fire (where a lot of active volcanoes are)
Where do Most of the earths volcanoes occur where?
In the "Ring of Fire" on the Pacific Rim (a.k.a. Pacific Ocean)
What place in the world do volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes occur in areas where tectonic plates meet, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which includes countries like Indonesia, Japan, and the west coast of the Americas. They can also be found along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is being formed.
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
Most volcanoes are found along the edges of tectonic plates where they interact, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. This is where most of Earth's volcanic activity occurs due to the movement and collisions of these plates.
60 percent of volcanoes occur surrounding the Pacific Ocean a location called what?
The "Ring of Fire".
The system of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific ocean?
The system of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean is known as the Ring of Fire. It is a horseshoe-shaped area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is home to about 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes.
Most earthquakes occur around the outer edge of what ocean?
The pacific ocean
Where are volcanoes most likely to appear?
they mostly a occur in the pacific ocean some people call it the ring of fire
What ocean is known as the home of the ring of fire?
The Pacific Ring of Fire is an area in a 25,000 mile horseshoe shape where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes.
