When we think of the Pacific Ocean, we often imagine turquoise waters, coral reefs, and peaceful islands. But beneath this vast beauty lies one of the most volatile and dangerous regions on Earth—the Ring of Fire . Stretching for more than 40,000 kilometers , this horseshoe-shaped belt of seismic activity is the world’s earthquake and volcano hotspot , making the Pacific Ocean both awe-inspiring and unpredictable. 🌍 What Is the Ring of Fire? The Ring of Fire is a zone encircling the Pacific Ocean, where tectonic plates —massive slabs of the Earth’s crust—constantly collide, separate, and grind against each other. This intense geological activity has formed: 75% of the world’s active volcanoes Around 90% of global earthquakes Countries like Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, New Zealand, Chile, and the United States (Alaska, California, Hawaii) sit directly on this fiery belt. 🌋 Why So Volatile? The Ring of Fire’s instability is caused by subduction zones —areas where...
