circum-pacific belt

Most volcanoes emerge in strings along the edges of lithospheric plates. One of the best-known volcanic regions is the circum-Pacific belt, which contains many of the world's volcanoes. Arranged in an island arc stretching across the Pacific Ocean, the belt includes the volcanic archipelagos of the Aleutians, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
