How does the theory of plate tectonics explain the formation of the ring of fire?

Answer 1

The plate tectonics explains the locations of volcanoes. Each continent sits on one or more large bases tectonic plates. As the plates move, the continents atop them move, an effect called continental drift.

Answer 2

The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation of the Ring of Fire as a result of subduction zones where oceanic plates are forced beneath continental plates. This process releases magma that forms volcanoes along the edges of the Pacific Ocean. The intense seismic activity in the Ring of Fire is due to the collision and movement of tectonic plates in this region.
