Make Your Own Ring of Fire Map | Volcanology Craft | Geology Project

Create Your Own Map of the Ring of Fire – A Hands-On Geology Project

Enhance your volcano and geology lessons with this engaging activity! By creating their own map of the Ring of Fire, students will have a strong understanding of its importance in Earth's tectonic activity.

Start by having students explore a reference map, identifying major volcanoes, earthquake zones, and tectonic plate boundaries. Then, they can recreate their own version by mapping key regions along the Pacific Ocean.

For an added challenge, encourage students to label and research specific volcanoes or earthquake hotspots to expand their knowledge.

This hands-on project allows students to visualize the impact of tectonic movements and volcanic activity. It’s a great way to combine geography with earth science while sparking creativity. After completing their maps, students can present and discuss how the Ring of Fire shapes the Earth's surface.

What’s Included:

• 1 full-color map of the Ring of Fire

• 1 black-and-white blank map for students to create their own version
