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.

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 place in the world do volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes mostly occur in areas where tectonic plates meet. Most of the active volcanoes in the world occur in what is called the Ring of Fire around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.
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)
60 percent of volcanoes occur surrounding the Pacific Ocean a location called what?
The "Ring of Fire".
Where do most volcanoes occur in the world?
In the "Ring of Fire" on the Pacific Rim (a.k.a. Pacific Ocean)
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
The Island of Iceland has the most volcanoes (per area) of any place on Earth.
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
Where are earthquakes or volcanoes likely to occur?
The answer is that earthquakes and volcanoes are most frequent along Tectonic plate boundaries, these are the natural pieces that the continents and oceans are on.
