The tectonic plate that matches almost perfectly with the Ring of Fire is the Pacific Plate. The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped region in the Pacific Ocean basin where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. This is due to the subduction zones around the Pacific Plate, where it is colliding with and being forced beneath other tectonic plates, leading to intense geological activity.
The ring of fire is simply a chain of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Plate. It also includes small remnants of the Juan de Fuca plate and the Gorda plate, both of which are being subducted under the North American plate and are remnants of the Farallon plate.
volcanoes and earthquakes happen mostly on the edges of tectonic plates and on the edges of the ring of fire
The pacific plate :)
The tectonic plate under parts of Europe and Asia is a continental crustal plate.
Four Tectonic PlatesJapan lies over 4 tectonic plates. These are: The North American PlateThe Eurasian PlateThe Philippine Sea Plate, andThe Pacific Plate.
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
North America is much bigger than pacific tectonic plate.From :Lyssa
