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.

What is the science in which earthquakes are studied called?
Earthquakes science
Why do most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean?
Most volcanoes and earthquakes occur around the Pacific Ocean basin in a roughly horseshoe shaped ring called the Rim or Ring of Fire. This is where the seismic activity is most intense due to the movement of the tectonic plates.
Major earthquakes are sometimes preceded by smaller earthquakes called .?
before shokes
What is the point of an earthquakes origin called?
focus
What is a wave that form as a result of earthquakes called?
a tsunami
What is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Pacific Ocean is called?
The zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Pacific Ocean is called the Ring of Fire. It is characterized by a horseshoe-shaped area of intense seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates.
Is a chain of stratovolcanoes circling the pacific ocean called the ring of fire?
It Is Called THE RING OF FIRE!
A chain of stratovolcanoes circling the pacific ocean is called the?
i dont know plz help me
Which ocean has a ring of volcanoes on the land surrounding it?
The Pacific Ocean has a ring of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire. This area is located in the Pacific Ocean basin and is characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity due to plate tectonics.
What is the region called that is subject to frequent earthquakes and volcanoes?
ring of fire
What is the area called that major volcanic activity and earthquakes occur?
It is called the Ring of Fire. Or, if you weren't being specific, a place where earthquakes occur is called a fault line, where the continental plates meet. When they shift, it causes earthquakes and can form volcanoes.
Why are tsunami waves frequent in Pacific Ocean?
Tsunamis mostly occur in the Pacific Ocean because they are made because of Earthquakes and lots of earthquakes happen in the ring of fire.
Where in the world are you most likely to suffer from earthquakes?
if you live close to the pacific ocean, this area is called the Pacific ring
Why do you think the area around the Pacific Plate is called the Pacific Ring of Fire?
Because the Pacific Ocean just has so many volcanoes. The Ring of Fire, also known as the circum-Pacific seismic belt, is home to more than 75% of the world's volcanoes. About 90% of the world's earthquakes originate along the Ring of Fire.
The circling of the spacecraft around the moon is called its?
The circling of the spacecraft around the moon is called its lunar orbit.
Why do you think earthquakes are frequent in Japan?
The islands of Japan are located in a volcanic zone on the Pacific Ring of Fire. They are primarily the result of large oceanic movements occurring over hundreds of millions of years from the mid-Silurian to the Pleistocene as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
How are earthquakes on mars called?
Earthquakes on Mars are called "marsquakes." These seismic events are generated by tectonic activity and impacts from meteorites on the Martian surface. Marsquakes are less frequent and less powerful than earthquakes on Earth due to Mars' smaller size and cooler interior.
