The Pacific Ring of Fire
What is Pacific Ring of Fire? Pacific Ring of Fire is the boundary in the Pacific Plate where almost half of the world’s active volcanoes can be found, it is said that there are more than 450 active or dormant volcanoes surrounding the said plate. The boundary runs up along the western coast of South and North America, crosses over the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, runs down the eastern coast of Asia past New Zealand and into the northern coast of Antarctica. The Ring of Fire is one of the most geologically active areas on Earth, and is a site for frequent earthquakes, faults, tsunamis and powerful volcanic eruptions. It is called a Ring of fire because as we all know, Pacific Ring of Fire is a chain of dormant volcanoes that anytime and any day it will erupt or explode. And also in which in this portion the subduction occurs. There are volcanoes existing in the Pacific Ring of fire due to the subduction, subduction is when a less dense plate slips beneath the more denser plates in which the less dense plate is the Oceanic Plate and the more denser plate is the Continental plate. As the subduction occurs there will be a scrapes because of the colliding of the both plates.. The rocks will be melt through the friction of the subduction, when the oceanic crust subducts the friction initiated releases a tremendous amount of energy melting the rocks to form magma. There is evidence to the existence of the subduction which is explained by the scientist, it is called a C12 compound. Scientist explained that the subduction really exist because the C12 compound can only be found in the Oceanic Plates. The cause of the subduction is the convection currents, it is like a fountain form of a hot and cold pressure combined it is because of the hotness in the core rises and is mixed with the not so hot air in the asthenosphere and where the hotness is nowhere to escape that’s why it cycle again and again and that’s why the subduction happens. There are many volcanoes surrounding around the Pacific Ring of Fire so we can say that it is related to how the volcanoes formed. How does volcanoes formed? There are two theories that can explain how the volcanoes were formed. First is the internal heat of our Earth has to escape somewhere just like for example the vents in our layer and when that heat escape that’s why the volcano were slowly formed, in this theory the convection currents is also involved , this theory is called the Plate Tectonics Plate. The second theory is under our oceanic plate there are molten rocks, those molten rocks in the oceanic plates will rise up and because those molten rocks are located at the ocean part in many years later those molten rocks will be hard and will form into a volcano, this called a destructive plate boundary.
