most active volcanic zone is the Pacific Ring of Fire around the Pacific plate. Here plates are colliding or separating. At active points on these plates volcanic mountains are formed‚ e.g. Nazca Plate and South American Plate‚ where plates separate‚ e.g. Pacific and Nazca Plate and in rift valleys‚ e.g. African Plate‚ Kenya. The most active area on the globe is the western rim of the Pacific Plate - stretching from Russia to New Zealand.Several findings relating to earthquakes and volcanic activity

A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g.‚ flood‚ tornado‚ hurricane‚ volcanic eruption‚ earthquake‚ heatwave‚ or landslide). It leads to financial‚ environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard‚ also called their resilience. if these disasters continues it would be a great danger for the earth.[1] This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability

Volcanoes A volcano is an opening‚ or rupture‚ in the surface or crust of the Earth or a planetary mass object‚ which allows hot lava‚ volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. The word volcano is derived from the name of Volcano‚ a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy whose name in turn originates from Vulcan‚ the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology. The study of volcanoes is called volcanology. Divergent plate boundaries: At the mid-oceanic ridges
