You’ve likely heard it before, but there is an abundance of volcanoes in Guatemala. That’s because the country sits on the “Ring of Fire:” the term for the horseshoe-shaped outline of the Pacific tectonic plate. Along the edges, the Pacific plate rubs against other plates, like the Philippine and North American Plate. That friction and pressure create volcanoes. Guatemala has three constantly active volcanoes: Santiaguito, Pacaya, and Fuego. But the country has 37 in total.
