The Circle of Fire

The Circle of Fire, also known as the Ring of Fire, is a major area in the Pacific Ocean basin known for its high levels of tectonic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. This area encircles the Pacific Ocean, stretching from the coasts of the Americas to Asia and Australia. It is home to about 75% of the world's active volcanoes and frequent seismic activity. The Circle of Fire is formed by the movement of tectonic plates, where they interact, causing geological phenomena that can have significant impacts on surrounding regions.
