Detailed explanation-1: -Over time, the edges of these plates were forced under the edges of the plates surrounding the Pacific Ocean. This plate movement created a long, narrow band of volcanoes called the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire stretches for more than 24, 000 miles, 38, 624 km, around the Pacific Ocean.
Detailed explanation-2: -This term describes an area on Earth that holds most of the world’s earthquake sites and active volcanoes. The Ring of Fire gets its name from all of the volcanoes that lie along this belt. Roughly 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes are located here, many underwater.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which type of tectonic plate is most common along the Pacific Ring of Fire? Convergent boundaries or subduction zones are where two plates collide with each other. These are the most common type of tectonic plates along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
