Correct option is A
The correct answer is (A) Circum-Pacific belt.
- The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped zone around the Pacific Ocean, known for its high volcanic activity and frequent earthquakes.
- It stretches for about 40,000 km, covering regions like Japan, Indonesia, the west coast of North and South America, and New Zealand.
- This region is highly active due to tectonic plate movements, where the Pacific Plate interacts with other surrounding plates, leading to subduction zones and volcanic eruptions.
- Around 75% of the world's active volcanoes and 90% of earthquakes occur in this belt.
