Within the Ring of Fire, new material for the Earth’s surface is constantly being created as hot liquid rocks called magma flows from the center of the Earth up to the ocean floor All the existing plates on the Earth’s surface have to move slightly to make room for the new material As plates move both away from and toward each other, they run into each other When they hit each other, one plate might move under another This process is called subduction Subduction frequently causes earthquakes It may also result in the bottom plate melting due to the extreme temperatures under the top plate The magma created in this process can rise to the Earth’s surface and come out through volcanoes, as can be seen along the Ring of Fire What is the main focus of this reading?
