The Ring of Fire: Earth’s Fiery Tectonic Belt
In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Ring of Fire is one of the most geologically active regions on Earth. Stretching in a horseshoe shape around the edges of the Pacific Ocean, it is a 40,000-kilometer (25,000-mile) belt known for its high levels of seismic activity, including frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Approximately 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes are located in this zone, and around 90% of the world’s earthquakes occur here.
