Where does the largest and most active earthquake zone occur?
The largest and most active earthquake zone is the Pacific Rim of Fire, also known as the Ring of Fire. This is a roughly horseshoe-shaped ring around the entire Pacific basin which is characterised by frequent seismic activity - especially around regions such as California and Japan.

Why are volcanoes not found in Singapore?
Although Singapore is not very far from a subduction zone, it is beyond the zone in which the subduction produces volcanic activity. Additionally, Singapore is geographically quite small, so even if it were in a belt of volcanic activity, there probably would not be a volcano in Singapore.
What is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ocean is called?
