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).
Most volcanoes occur along plate margins or at 'hotspots' in the earth's crust.Volcanoes are openings in the earth's crust that spew out molten lava,ash,steam and gas. Deep beneath every volcano lies a reservoir of molten rock called a magma chamber. just now. Report Abuse. Volcanoes occur where magma rises through the Earth's crust and reaches the surface.
