Is the ring of fire a major belt of fire?
The 'Ring of Fire' is actually the edge of the Pacific Plate. It is called the 'Ring of Fire' because it is a ring lined with lots and lots of volcanoes. If what you mean by belt is a mostly straight line, then no, it is a deformed and distorted ring, with many volcanoes out of line, but shaped like a strange circle. The 'Ring of Fire' is not a belt of fire at all. The fire is supposed to be lava! The fire comes from the volcanoes... as you may know! In shorter words, it is a circle of volcanoes that line the Pacific Plate.
