Volcanic Zones
Volcanic zones are areas on Earth where volcanic activity is concentrated. These zones often form along tectonic plate boundaries, where plates either collide, pull apart, or slide past each other. The movement of these plates can create conditions that lead to the formation of volcanoes, resulting in eruptions and the release of magma, ash, and gases.
There are three main types of volcanic zones: convergent boundaries, where plates collide; divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; and hotspots, which are areas where magma rises from deep within the Earth. Each type of zone has distinct geological features and eruption styles, contributing to the planet's dynamic landscape.
