The Ring of Fire is a belt of high volcanic and earthquake activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is largely a result of the several subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides under another. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes at subduction zones, which means that many of the world's tsunamis start around the Ring of Fire.
