Which side of the ring of fire experiences more subduction and why?

Asked by Rodrigo8142

Answer (1)

The western side of the Ring of Fire experiences more subduction because the denser Pacific Plate is moving westward and colliding with the less dense continental plates of Asia and the Americas, causing it to sink beneath them. This process, called subduction, is responsible for many of the volcanoes and earthquakes along the Ring of Fire.HOPE IT HELPS YOU
