Firstly, the ring of fire isn't the only place volcanos can erupt, it just happens to be a particularly common place. The majority of volcanos can be found between the plates that make up the earths surface. These places are 'weak spots' are ripe for volcanos to occur. The 'ring of fire' is essentially the boundry of one such plate. However it is possible also for volcanos to form anywhere that the forces can break through the earths surface, just rarer.
What else can I help you with?
What do trenches and mountain have to do with the the ring of fire?
It has to do with them because the Ring of Fire is formed by plates volcanoes. Once volcanoes errupt(and aren't active anymore), they can be mountains.
The Ring of Fire is a long belt of volcanoes that nearly circles the Pacific Ocean What process formed these volcanoes?
Convergent plate volcanism
What percentage of the world's volcanoes are on the ring of fire?
Number of Volcanoes in the Ring of Fire500 volcanoes comprise the Ring of Fire, a group of volcanoes that form more of a horseshoe than a ring along the coasts on both sides of the Pacific Ocean and extends to islands east of Australia. 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are part of the Ring of Fire.
What are four states that are part of the ring of fire?
The four states that are part of the Ring of Fire are Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California. The Ring of Fire is, in general, where the Pacific Plate is subducting underneath some other plate. The result is a line of volcanoes along the subduction boundary. Hawaii, which was mentioned as an answer, is not part of the Ring of Fire because its volcanoes were formed by a hot spot.
Are there shield volcanoes in the ring of fire?
Yes, there are shield volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. Shield volcanoes are common along tectonic plate boundaries, including those found in the Ring of Fire, such as in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest. These volcanoes are characterized by their broad, gently sloping sides and can produce both effusive and explosive eruptions.
What do trenches and mountain have to do with the the ring of fire?
It has to do with them because the Ring of Fire is formed by plates volcanoes. Once volcanoes errupt(and aren't active anymore), they can be mountains.
How were the Japanese Islands formed?
undersea volcanoes, Japan lies near the Ring of Fire
What do we call the belt formed by active volcanoes around the pacific ocean?
The "ring of fire".
The Ring of Fire is a long belt of volcanoes that nearly circles the Pacific Ocean What process formed these volcanoes?
Convergent plate volcanism
What is the ring if fire?
a ring of volcanoes
Why is there an area called the ring of fire?
The ring of fire is called the ring of fire. It is a chain of volcanoes in the pacific ocean.
What is the ring of volcanoes called?
The Ring of Fire
What percentage of the world's volcanoes are on the ring of fire?
Number of Volcanoes in the Ring of Fire500 volcanoes comprise the Ring of Fire, a group of volcanoes that form more of a horseshoe than a ring along the coasts on both sides of the Pacific Ocean and extends to islands east of Australia. 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are part of the Ring of Fire.
What does the ring of fire as to with the ring?
The ring is the circle of countries that have volcanoes in it.
How do volcanoes form in the ring of fire?
Volcanoes in the Ring of Fire are formed due to the subduction of tectonic plates. In this region, the Pacific Plate is being forced beneath other plates, leading to intense geological activity that results in volcanic eruptions. This subduction process creates magma chambers beneath the Earth's crust, which can lead to the formation of volcanoes when the magma rises to the surface.
How many volcanos surround the ring of fire?
There are about 452 volcanoes in The Ring of Fire.
How did the ring of fire come the ring of fire?
Because most volcanoes are around it.
