In which belt, the volcanic eruption is maximum ?
Answer: B
Volcanic eruptions are most frequent in the Circumpacific belt.
The Circum-Pacific belt, the 'Ring of Fire', runs around the edges of the Pacific Ocean, along the Andes, the Rockies, Japan, the Philippines and New Zealand. Here oceanic plates are subducted beneath other plates, and it holds roughly two-thirds of the world's active volcanoes.
The Mid-Atlantic ridge has volcanic activity, as in Iceland, but far less. Mid-continental and intraplate volcanoes, such as hotspots like Hawaii, are much fewer.
