Lab Activity 1 - PACIFIC RING OF FIRE

This lab activity document instructs students to identify and mark the locations of listed volcanoes on a world map, and to connect the markings with a line. It aims to show students the pattern of volcanoes located around the Pacific Ocean, known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, and to explain why volcanoes are common in this region. Students are asked questions to help them understand the relationship between the volcanoes' locations and the concept of the Pacific Ring of Fire tectonic plate boundary.
