Ring of Fire:

✅The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

✅It traces boundaries between several tectonic plates—including the Pacific, Cocos, Indian-Australian, Nazca, North American, and Philippine Plates.

✅The abundance of volcanoes and earthquakes along the Ring of Fire is caused by the amount of movement of tectonic plates in the area.

✅75% of Earth’s volcanoes i.e. more than 450 volcanoes are located along the Ring of Fire.

 ✅90% of Earth’s earthquakes occur along its path.
