The Pacific Ring of Fire is an area in the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to plate tectonics. It is home to over 452 volcanoes and accounts for about 90% of the world's earthquakes. The Ring of Fire forms a path along the Pacific Ocean where the Pacific plate is subducting under other tectonic plates, causing high seismic and volcanic activity.

2. How about
• The Pacific Ring of Fire is an area where large
number of earthquakes and volcanic eruption
in the Pacific Ocean.
• The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes.

3. Earthquake
• About 90% earthquake of the world along the
Ring of Fire.
• The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the third most
prominent earthquake belt.

4. Plates
• The Ring of Fire is a direct result of plate
tectonics.
• The eastern section of the ring is the result of
the Nazca Plate ant the Cocos Plate.

5. Plates 2
• Along the northern portion the
northwestward moving Pacific plate is being
subducted beneath the Aleutian islands.
• West the pacific plate is being subducted
beneath the along the Kamachatka Peninsula
arcs.

6. Plates 3
• The southern portion is more complex with a
number of smaller tectonic plates.
• Since it lies in the center of its tectonic plate.

7. Plates 4
• Indonesia lies between the Ring of Fire along
the northeastern islands.
• The famous and very active San Andreas Fault
zone of California is a transform fault.
