1. If there is significant mass activity within the "Ring of Fire" especially volcanic, could this trigger NZ's volcanoes?

2. Can the Hikurangi subduction zone trigger NZ's other major fault lines therefore causing increased activity with our volcanoes?
Thanks so much for your info regarding this. 👍
