- The Pacific Ring of Fire is a region around the Pacific Ocean that is known for its frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
- It is shaped like a horseshoe and stretches from the eastern coast of Asia, through the islands in the Pacific, and down to the western coast of the Americas.
- The area is called the "Ring of Fire" because it has many active volcanoes and is prone to seismic activity.
- Countries like Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, the west coast of the Americas, and New Zealand are part of this zone.
- The Ring of Fire is caused by tectonic plate movements, where plates collide, pull apart, or slide against each other, leading to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
