Ring of Fire

The Ring of Fire is a large range of fully active and dormant volcanoes located in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. The range is also a home to major earthquakes. 80 percent of the world's earthquakes happen here. The Ring of Fire was only created because of plate tectonics and the major movement of continental crust. The eastern part of the plate was created because of the subduction of the Nazcas and the Cocos plate. The northern part was made from the Pacific plate slipping under the Eulisian Islands. This place is very dangerous and holds no life.
