Pacific Ring of Fire
The Pacific Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of
the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions occur. In a large horseshoe shape, it is
associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic
trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and plate
movements.
Positions of some countries in the Pacific ring of fire is
shown in the square grid below.
