The Ring of Fire is an enormous chain of volcanoes all around the Pacific Ocean The ring goes from New Zealand up to Asia and across the ocean to Alaska From Alaska, the ring continues southward along the coast of both North and South America More than seventy-five percent of the world’s volcanoes are located in this ring
Scientists are interested in studying the Ring of Fire because they can observe plate tectonics at work there In 1912, a German scientist, Alfred Wegener, came up with the first theory of land movement Wegener said continents are made up of lighter rocks resting on heavier material Similar to the way large things move while floating on water, Wegener suggested that the positions of the continents were not fixed, but that they moved slightly Later, scientists discovered most of Wegener’s ideas were right on the mark They then developed the theory called plate tectonics
According to plate tectonics, the surface of the Earth consists of a number of enormous plates or sections of rock, each about eighty kilometers thick The plates float and slowly move at speeds between one to ten centimeters every year That is about the rate your fingernails grow! Within the Ring of Fire, new material for the Earth’s plates is constantly being created as hot liquid rock 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

For a century and a half, the piano has been one of the most popular solo instruments for Western music Unlike string and wind instrument, the piano is completely self-sufficient, as it is able to play both the melody and its accompanying harmony at the same time For this reason, it became the favorite household instrument of the nineteenth century
The ancestry of the piano can be traced to the early keyboard instruments of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries – the spinet, the dulcimer, and the virginal In the seventeenth century the organ, the clavichord,
and the harpsichord became the chief instruments of the keyboard group, a supremacy they maintained until the piano supplanted them at the end of the eighteenth century The clavichord's tone was metallic and never powerful; nevertheless, because of the variety of tone possible to it, many composers found the
clavichord a sympathetic instrument for concert use, but the character of the tone could not be varied save
by mechanical or structural devices
The piano was perfected in the early eighteenth century by a harpsichord maker in Italy (though musicologists point out several previous instances of the instrument) This instrument was called a piano
e forte (soft and loud), to indicate its dynamic versatility; its strings were struck by a recoiling hammer with a felt-padded head The wires were much heavier in the earlier instruments A series of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nineteenth century, including the introduction of pedals to sustain tone or to soften it, the perfection of a metal frame and steel wire of the finest quality, finally produced
an instrument capable of myriad tonal effects from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral
fullness of sound, from a liquid, singing tone to a sharp, percussive brilliance
