Zone of earthquakes and volcanoes surrounding the pacific ocean?
The Ring of Fire
What is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ocean is called?
The zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Pacific Ocean is called the Ring of Fire. It is characterized by a horseshoe-shaped area of intense seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
Is the ring of fire is called because it has loads of volcanoes?
The border of the Pacific Ocean is a tectonically active zone with lots of earthquakes and volcanoes; you are correct that it is the volcanoes which have inspired the term "ring of fire".
Are there any volcanoes or earthquakes in Iraq?
Iraq experiences earthquakes but does not have any volcanoes.
Why are earthquakes and volcanoes frequent in japan?
Japan lies in the earthquake zone where four plates come together. As the plates push against each other, they cause violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What is the region called that is subject to frequent earthquakes and volcanoes?
ring of fire
What is created at a convergent boundary?
It is a subduction zone and can create earthquakes and volcanoes

Are volcanes bad or earthquakes?
Both are considered bad. Volcanoes, if the eruption is big enough, can damage a lot of land. However, earthquakes are more frequent and they can be very destructive.
Were is there no earthquakes or volcanoes?
THERE is no earthquakes or volcanoes in space or in europe
Why are earthquake and volcanoes so frequent in japan?
Japan lies in the earthquake zone where four plates come together. As the plates push against each other, they cause violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

What percentage of earthquakes happens in the ring of fire area?
the ring of fire is a chain of volcanoes, but I recall hearing somewhere around 80%
