It isn't universal over the whole world that the volcanos migrate
south. I think maybe in Hawaii or in the south Pacific it's the other
way (that the volcanos progress north) - it's because of the shifting
of the geological plates - at the edge of the plates you have
earthquakes where they grind together or volcanos.
