How did the Pacific Ring of Fire get its name? Does it deserve it?

Geography
1 answer:
alexgriva [62]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The Pacific Ring of Fire is named so because of it's known ring-shaped pattern of Volcanoes. This is all due in part to merging tectonic plates, all resulting in oceanic Volcanoes. It does deserve the name "Ring of Fire" Because of the fact that the volcanoes shoot out fire hot magma, and all of them are arranged in a ring shape around the tectonic plate boundaries.

I hope this helped!

Thanks!

ELEN [110]
The answer is Longitudinal waves. 

The particle displacement in a longitudinal wave is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The ground particles simply oscillate back and forth their equilibrium positions unlike transverse waves that do not move along with the waves but rather oscillate up and down their individual equilibrium positions.
