The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific Ocean basin where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. This region is known for its high levels of seismic activity and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. The Ring of Fire is located along the edges of several tectonic plates, making it a hotspot for geological events. The constant movement of these plates creates intense pressure and friction, leading to frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity in the area.
