ring of fire
Ring of fireWhat if someone were to tell you that there’s a region in the world where roughly 90% of the world’s earthquakes occur. Well guess what? That's true. The "Ring of Fire", also called the Circum-Pacific belt, is the zone of earthquakes surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Roughly 90% of the world's earthquakes occur there. The ring of fire isn’t a circular ring. It is shaped more like a 40,000-kilometer (25,000-mile) horseshoe. The ring of fire is the result of plate tectonics.
