GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. The majority of Earth’s volcanoes and earthquakes take place along the Ring of Fire.

Detailed explanation-2: -At a convergent plate boundary, one plate dives or “subducts” beneath the other, resulting in a variety of earthquakes and a line of volcanoes on the overriding plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Most earthquakes and volcanoes happen at plate boundaries because in between plates there is a lot of activity, meaning tectonic plate movement (convection forces that rock deformation and construction of faults and fractures).

Detailed explanation-4: -Both volcanoes and earthquakes are caused along the boundaries of tectonic plates due to their movements and interactions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Earth’s crust (the outer layer of the planet) is made up of several pieces called tectonic plates and most earthquakes occur along their edges.
