Of course, these volcanoes are caused by the abundance of convergent plate boundaries around the Pacific. The Pacific Ring of Fire is where the majority of the volcanic activity on the Earth occurs. A description of the Pacific Ring of Fire along western North America is a description of the plate boundaries.
