Answer 1

Mt. Vesuvius, Mt. Etna are located in the Mid-World Mountain Belt.

Explanation:
Mt. Vesuvius and Mt. Etna are located in Italy, which lies along the Mid-World Mountain Belt (also called the Alpide Belt). This belt stretches from the Mediterranean region through the Alps and the Himalayas, marking a major zone of seismic and volcanic activity caused by the collision of tectonic plates. It is distinct from the Circum-Pacific Belt or Pacific Ring of Fire, which surrounds the Pacific Ocean.
