Volcanoes & Where they are located

Where is the Pacific Ring of Fire located?

• Along the Atlantic Ocean

• Along the Indian Ocean

• In the Pacific Ocean

What is a volcano?

• A hole in the ground

• A vent in the Earth's crust that releases hot lava, gases, rocks, volcanic ash, and steam from a magma chamber underneath the Earth's surface

• A type of rock formation

What happens at convergent boundaries called subduction zones along the Ring of Fire?

• Plates move apart

• Plates slide past each other

• The plate underneath is pushed down, or subducted, by the plate above

What is the Ring of Fire?

• A path along the Atlantic Ocean

• A region characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes along the Pacific Ocean

• A mountain range in Europe

What is the approximate length of the Ring of Fire?

• 20,000 Kilometers

• 30,000 Kilometers

• 40,000 Kilometers

Why do most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in specific areas and not randomly?

• They follow a predetermined schedule

• They are influenced by weather patterns

• They occur along plate boundaries

What is magma?

• Molten rock when it's on the Earth's surface during an eruption

• The solid core of the Earth

• Molten rock when it's still underneath the Earth's crust

What is the state of the inner core of the Earth?

• Liquid

• Viscous

• Solid

What geological features characterize the Ring of Fire?

• Sandy beaches and coral reefs

• Active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes

• Dense forests and large lakes

In which areas do volcanic eruptions predominantly occur?

• Anywhere on the Earth's surface

• In areas with constant rainfall

• In areas with vibration activities or weak zones, such as where continental plates pull apart or collide
