Why did Australia have volcanic activity even though it is not located on a plate edge?
Australia's volcanic activity is due to the presence of a hot spot beneath the Earth's crust. This hotspot, located in the southeast of Australia, has caused volcanic activity in the past. The volcanic activity in Australia is not related to plate tectonics like the Ring of Fire, where most volcanic activity occurs.

Why is Japan more likely than Australia to have volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Answer Japan is located along a convergent plate boundary where oceanic crust is subducted under the continental crust. Plate collisions such as this will result in volcanism and earthquakes when the enormous pressures associated with such collisions is released through sudden plate movement. Australia is not located along a plate boundary.
What part of Australia is in the ring of fire?
The eastern part of Australia, including Queensland and New South Wales, is located within the Ring of Fire. This region is susceptible to earthquakes and volcanic activity due to its position on the Pacific Plate boundary where it interacts with the Indo-Australian Plate.
