Some More Information About Volcanoes
 Hi whanua and students. The  image on the right displayed on this post indicates how the students used coordinates to find volcanoes across the Pacific Rim. A few thing they have noticed was:
1. A lot of the volcanoes take place on coastal areas.
2. New Zealand is part of this area.
3. This area is called the Pacific Ring Of Fire.
4. 75% of the worlds volcanoes happens in the Pacific Ring Of Fire.
5. A lot of the volcanoes are active for example: here in New Zealand we have White Island and Mt 
    Ruapehu.
6. We will notice that the countries which are in the Ring Of Fire have a high chance of earth quakes   for example, Japan, Chili and New Zealand.
7. In extreme case some of the countries were hit by tsunamis set off by earth quakes out at sea for example the tsunami which hit Japan in 2012. 
You can also see an example of a labeled image (volcano and layers of the earth).
