Answer
The Fold Mountains in the West Indies are relatively young and lie along active plate boundaries where tectonic plates are constantly moving. This movement creates intense geological activity, making these regions prone to frequent volcanic eruptions. Hence, a belt of active volcanoes is commonly found along such mountain ranges.
