  1. C is obviously the false answer.  Most of the worlds active volcanoes are in the Pacific ring of Fire.   And most of t he bigger earthquakes are associated with the pacific ring subduction zones (and some of its hot spots, such as the Hawaiian islands).


  2. C

  3. the answer is c

  4. C is the incorrect answer.  One only has to look around the rim of the Pacific Ocean to see many active volcanoes.

  5. It is C! I am 100% positive.

  6. C.

  7. C is false, as many of the volcanos in the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' are highly active.  The other statements ar all true.

  8. c is incorrect

  9. c for sure here is a map, I had a better one once but don't know where i put it.  Many volcanos around the Pacific are active
