I wonder volcanoes earthquakes and tsunamis usually happen in a certain area of the Earth called The Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a circle of volcanoes that is located along the Pacific Ocean this area of the Earth has over 75% of the world’s volcanoes and over 80% of the world’s earthquakes.
Volcanoes are formed when tectonic plates collide with and slide underneath lighter tectonic plates. A tsunami occurs when the tectonic plates suddenly move underneath the water. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes in the ocean.
