Why would you probably not see a volcano on the east coast of the United States?

A. They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire.

B. The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions.

C. The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption.

D. There are no major fault lines or hot spots close by.

Why?

Because "They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire" is incorrect, the Ring of Fire is just a place where many volcanoes are.

Because "The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions." they type of rock doesn't play that much of a role in the formation of volcanoes

Because "The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption." It isn't a gass that is found, it is the build up of pressure from fultlines moving and things on the inside of the earth.
