Question

What is the basic cause of the physical events that characterize the Ring of Fire?

Answer 1

Plate tectonics is how the crust of the earth moves over the magma layers liquid core.

Explanation:

The specific shape and location of the continents appears to be defined by pieces of the earth's crust that have geologic mobility on the liquid under-layers.

Island chains like the “Pacific Ring of Fire” are also formed by this movement, as rifts between the pieces (tectonic plates) cause magma to come up from the lower earth and form volcanoes, which become the islands if the extend above the ocean surface.
