The ring of fire is created by tectonic plates pushing against each other, specifically when a plate carrying ocean (called ocea
nic plate) is pushing against a plate carrying land (called continental plate). the ocean will always lose because it is heavier. what happens to the water of the ocean? *
The water from the ocean, when the ocean tectonic plates are subducted, moves around to the places where new gaps occur, usually creating a new sea that in time spreads more and more and in time there's every chance they will become new oceans.
