Answer 1

A description of the Pacific Ring of Fire along western North America is below:

• Subduction at the Middle American Trench creates volcanoes in Central America.
• The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary.
• Subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate creates the Cascade volcanoes like Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainer, Mount Hood and more.
• Subduction of the Pacific plate beneath the North American plate in the north creates the long chain of the Aleutian Islands volcanoes near Alaska.
• This incredible explosive eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Italy in A.D. 79 is an example of a composite volcano that forms as the result of a convergent plate boundary.
• About 90%[4] of the world's earthquakes and 81%[5] of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. The next most seismic region (5–6% of earthquakes and 17%[5] of the world's largest earthquakes) is the Alpide belt, which extends from Java to Sumatra through the Himalayas, the Mediterranean, and out into the Atlantic. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the third most prominent earthquake belt.

Answer 2

The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped zone that can be traced along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, where many of the world's earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. ... Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego, or Volcano of Fire, sits atop a subduction zone, where the Cocos Plate is diving beneath the Caribbean Plate.
