The Ring of Fire is characterized by frequent volcanic eruptions and significant seismic activity, including earthquakes. This region, encircling the Pacific Ocean, is home to about 75% of the world's active volcanoes and is where tectonic plates converge, leading to subduction zones. As a result, both volcanic activity and tectonic movements often occur, causing the formation of mountain ranges and oceanic trenches.

Where do most volcanoes happen?

Volcanoes are most commonly found along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. This is where the movement of plates creates conditions for magma to rise to the surface and form volcanic activity.

Where are most volcanoes and earthquakes located?

They both happen along the lithosphere (tectonic) plates. For Volcanoes- The Ring of Fire, which is where most of the volcanoes in the world happen, is along tectonic plate boundaries. For Earthquakes- Faults (cracks in the Earth's crust) form above the tectonic plates, and when the two plates of the fault slip, it releases energy, and causes an earthquake to happen.
