The most active volcanoes are located in two volcanic belts
The alpine-Himalayan Belt and the Circum-Pacific Belt (ring of fire)
Ring of Fire
Outlines the major trenches in the Pacific Ocean, is an active volcanic and seismic zone
Alpine-Himalayan Belt
it reveals the collision of the African Plate and Indo-Australian plate within the southern margin of the Eurasian Plate
Active volcano
associated with seismic activity, presence of hot water spring, and changes of elevation of earths crater
Dormant volcano
has not erupted but may erupt based on seismic indications
Extinct volcano
not active or has not erupted for a long time
Seismic waves
body waves that radiate outward in all directions from the center to the earths interior
Focus
