What ocean does the Ring of Fire encircle? o Most active volcanoes on land are located along the margins of the ocean basins notably within the circum- Pacific belt known as the Ring of Fire ( Figure 7.33).
Map of the volcanic arcs in the Andes, and subducted structures affecting volcanism. The Andean Volcanic Belt is a major volcanic belt along the Andean cordillera in Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina.It formed as a result of subduction of the Nazca Plate and Antarctic Plate underneath the South American Plate.The belt is subdivided into four main volcanic zones that are separated from each other by volcanic gaps. The volcanoes of the belt are diverse in terms of activity style, products and morphology.t is one of the four volcanic zones of the Andes. The Central Volcanic Zone extends from Peru to Chile and forms the western boundary of the Altiplano plateau. The volcanic arc has formed due to subduction of the Nazca Plate under western South America along the PeruâChile Trench.
