Answer:

Based on the map, which country is likely to experience a volcanic eruption?

Send money abroad from Indonesia.

I see some good answers to a badly framed question.

The problem with the question is hidden in two words “the map”.

A geopolitical map tells you nothing about volcanic eruption risks.

A topographic map might tell the viewer a little bit because volcanoes can sometimes look like volcanos on a map.

A geologic map does not tell you much about the future risk.

A road map tells you about roads but little if anything about road construction.

A hazards map for volcanoes is a good place to start.

Since the USGS tries to avoid politics it may be necessary to overl

National Geographic published a map of the tectonic plates that also indicates what sorts of boundaries they have (convergent, divergent, etc.): The Earth’s Fractured Surface. Consulting that map can give you some idea where volcanic activity is taking place. And that’s why I think a better way to look at it would be more general and to ask what sorts of areas are unlikely to have volcanic eruptions. Off the top of my head I would have to say the dense co

Volcanos tend to be in two types of locations. One is at the edges of the earth’s plate boundaries, and the other is where there are hotspots, which are on top of plumes of heat coming up from the earth’s mantle.

Hot spots are a minority of the active volcanos, but they are some of the most active. Hawaii and Iceland are two of them, and they are the most frequently erupting volcanoes on the planet.

The top map shows where active volcanoes occur. The bottom map shows where plate boundaries occur.

There are a lot of chains of volcanoes that occur along the margins of plate boundaries. They occur most in places where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust.

When two of the earth’s plates are pushed together, one gets forced under the other —subduction. As one gets pushed into the hotter depths of the earth parts of it begin to melt. The contained water in the sediments helps this melting process and also makes things flow, so it gets forced up through the overlying plate and forms volcanoes, either on land, as on the west coasts of North and South America, or as an Island Arc as in Indonesia.
