| Clarissa, how are volcanoes and the Ring of Fire related? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Well Janessa, The Ring of Fire is an area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. | |

| That's crazy!! Do the volcanoes still erupt? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yup! They are still erupting or have recently anyways! | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Wow!! So that means that they are formed due to subduction zones of three main active tectonic plates namely the Eurasian Plate, Pacific Plate, and the Indo-Australian Plate | |
