The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanoes and sites of seismic activity, or earthquakes, around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.

The Ring of Fire is the most seismically and volcanically active zone in the world. The Ring of Fire is a roughly 40000-kilometer chain of volcanoes and seismically active sites that outline the Pacific Ocean.

A seismologist explains what triggered the deadly earthquake in Ecuador and how to reduce future risk.

The Pacific Ring of Fire is one of the most turbulent regions of the earth. Covering a length of 24,900 square miles, the Pacific Ring of Fire comprises roughly 75 percent of the volcanoes that erupt frequently across the globe. The Pacific Ring of Fire is also prone to seismic activity and an estimated 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes occur along this region. Contrary to its name, the Pacific Ring of Fire resembles more of a horseshoe. Read on to know more.
