What fault lines are in the ring of fire?
The ring of fire is an area that has several Earthquakes and volcanoes. The fault line is the San Andreas Fault which is very active and popular.
What is the Ring of Fire and how is it related to Southeast Asia Why is it dangerous?

What is the ring is fire?
The Ring of Fire (Pacific Ring of Fire) is an area of Pacific Plate subduction, rimming (of course) the Pacific Ocean. The plate subduction creates a line of volcanism geographically around its perimeter that appears to form a circle or ring. The Ring of Fire is the subducting plate boundary of the shrinking Pacific Ocean. The subducting oceanic crust is being drawn under less dense oceanic and continental crust and is melting into the upper mantle which can lead to volcanism and earthquakes.

The ring of fire is a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific ocean. These signify tectonic activity, making a high likelihood of earthquakes.
Why is the western side of Mexico referred to as the ring of fire?
