It is known as 'The Ring of Fire' sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt.
The Ring of Fire is the major volcanic belt that encircles the Pacific Ocean. This area is characterized by high levels of earthquake and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.

Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
Yes, there is volcanic activity in the Pacific Ocean. Most of it occurs near the edges of the Pacific, in a region called the Ring of Fire. These volcanoes are responsible for the formation of Indonesia, Japan, and the Aleutians Islands, to name a few. There are also volcanoes closer to the middle of the Pacific plate, which formed islands such as those of the South Pacific and Hawaii.
Volcanic mountains
Volcanic mountains, which are commonly found along the edges of tectonic plates in the Pacific Ocean, contributed to early explorers naming the region the "Ring of Fire" due to the high frequency of volcanic activity and earthquakes in the area.
Seamounts are isolated volcanic mountains scatteredacross the ocean floor
volcanic mountains not formed on mid-ocean ridge
