Best Answer

Convection is the process where warm air rises, and cold air falls.

Due to the geographical nature of your first question, I will assume you are referring to the 'Pacific Ring of Fire'; which is an area surrounding the connecting points of several tectonic plates in the Pacific Ocean. (Quite possibly the most notable country in the pacific ring of fire is Japan)

Do tsunami mostly come from the ring of fire?

The Ring of Fire is a belt of high volcanic and earthquake activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is largely a result of the several subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides under another. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes at subduction zones, which means that many of the world's tsunamis start around the Ring of Fire.


What explains earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?

Plate tectonics theory, which starts with the radioactive decay heating in the core and mantle of the earth, which drives convection currents in the mantle, the crust of the earth which is broken up into plates floats on the mantle and is pushed around by the convection currents. The end results are the plates grinding against each other and/or breaking (causing earthquakes) and also ocean plates subducting under continental plates then melting (causing volcanic arcs, e.g. The Pacific Ring of Fire) and mantle plumes penetrating through the crust (causing hotspot volcanoes, e.g. Hawaii, Yellowstone, Iceland)
