      Alaska is also on the ring of fire and the Aleutians are also a volcanic island chain.

      Both Alaska and Hawaii have on average 1-2 volcanic eruptions per year. However, Alaska has an average of about 12,000 earthquakes per year. Hawaii has an average of about 100 earthquakes per year.

      Alaska is by far more geologically unstable than Hawaii.
