3. What mean?
● This is a volcanic zone where surroundings in the
Pacific Ocean are surrounded.
● And this is a generic name of the volcano islands
and the volcanic cluster.
● It's called two large orogenic zones of the world
with Alpine-Himalayan belt.
4. Formation of volcanic zone
● There is an oceanic plate in which it centers
on Pacific plate in the sea.
● They sink under a continental plate and an
oceanic plate peripheral and the volcano
islands and the volcanic cluster are formed by
crowding.
● It is including to sink of the plate.
● So, the seismic activity besides the volcanic
activity is also active.
5. Feature of volcanic zone
● This is called two large orogenic zones of
the world.
● These are earthquake prone.
● The Pacific Ring of Fire often accompanies
the volcanic activity.
6. Seismic activity
● Chile and Bolivia
are one of the
volcanic zones.
● Mexico, the United
States and
Canada are active
the volcanic zone.
7. Conclusion
This is a volcanic zone where surroundings in
the Pacific Ocean are surrounded. And this is a
generic name of the volcano islands and the
volcanic cluster.
An oceanic plate and Pacific plate sink under a
continental plate and an oceanic plate peripheral
and the volcano islands and the volcanic cluster
are formed by crowding.
