The asthenosphere is a soft, dough-like solid layer of the Earth's mechanical layers. Heated molten rock rises to the surface and falls again when the material cools causing convection currents. What conclusion can be made from this information?
Lithospheric plates move due to convection currents in the asthenosphere.

Explain why there are so many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the region called the "Ring of Fire
The Pacific plate is very dense, and there are many plates that share a boundary with it. When these plates meet, the result is high tectonic activity, creating volcanoes and earthquakes.
