yes
The ring is the location of subduction zones
Actually i found the answer. A lot of earths plates are found there and they rub against each other a causing earthquakes.
along the edge of the pacific plate
The Ring of Fire and the San Andreas Fault
It is called the Ring of Fire The "circum-Pacific seismic belt" is the actual name. It is also nicknamed the "Ring of Fire". The area is along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, and 81% of the world's earthquakes occur there. The area extends from Chile, in South America, north to New Zealand.
yes, also volcano's :)
yes, also volcano's :)
Why do the areas along the ring of fire experience many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
Because Japan is right next to the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a plate around the Pacific Ocean that has many earthquakes on it's border line.
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the circum-Pacific seismic belt, also known as the Ring ofFire.

EARTHQUAKES
The Ring of Fire is also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The yellow line is the location of the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is bascically where the Earth's tectonic plates have spread apart and cracked, allowing warm lava to rise and causing many earthquakes and volcanoes. Also, the plates here often shift and that is why there are often tsunamis. Tsunamis are caused underwater by onshore earthquakes that are very powerful.
