3 0

The number of volcanoes is higher in the Pacific ocean compared to the Atlantic Ocean. This is due to the fact that the Ring of Fire, a ring of volcanoes that are most active, is situated in the Pacific Rim. Most of the volcanoes on Earth are situated around the Pacific Ring of Fire because that is the location of most of the Earth's subduction zones.
