Q:Why after 600 years of no activity, did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt(喷发) in1991

A:Volcanoes(火山)eachhave their own eruption styles. This volcano probably has a rule which makes iterupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years, but a volcano in Hawaii seems toerupt every year, and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20years.

A:There’s nothing out of the ordinary. If you were to take an ordinary calendaryear, 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year. There are 20to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest. That might be afull-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that.

Q:What is “the ring of fire”?

Q:Why such a concentration(集中) there?

AThat’s based ona theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces. When theymove, one might ride up over the other one, In this case, the Pacific Oceangoes under the continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma (熔岩)at depth andthen you have volcanoes in the same ring.
