Not a fault line, many fault lines. The Pacific Ring of Fire consists of a series of plate boundaries that border the edges of the Pacific, Nazca, and Cocos plates and a few minor plates that form the floor of the Pacific Ocean.

What continents divided?

Each continent is on a plate that is divided from the next by a fault line. At that fault line magma exudes to the surface and flows on the bottom of the ocean usually, as the plates drift apart. If on the other hand they are drifting together, one plate will slide under the other as they move. America is drifting West as Africa drifts East at a fault line in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.


Is it better to live next to an earthquake fault line or a volcano?
