Algae are photosynthetic, but they are also unicellular organisms (Euglena) and shares some of the common features with plants as well as animals. They move like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants. Therefore, they are classified into Protists, and not the Algae. Their most features resemble the non-photosynthetic protozoa, and not plants, and therefore, are put into the Protista. 
They also lack a cell wall, which is a feature of plants.
Some scientists advocate their classification in plants because of their sexual mode of reproductiona, and formation of spores.

Why would you probably not see a volcano on the east coast of the United States?
DerKrebs [107]

D. There are no major fault lines or hot spots close by.

Why?

Because "They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire" is incorrect, the Ring of Fire is just a place where many volcanoes are.

Because "The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions." they type of rock doesn't play that much of a role in the formation of volcanoes

Because "The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption." It isn't a gass that is found, it is the build up of pressure from fultlines moving and things on the inside of the earth.
