Subduction zones exist all over the earth's surface, its crust. However the highest concentration of subduction zones is in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe shaped zone of an almost continuous belt of oceanic trenches and volcanoes belts that extends from the western coast of South America, the same coast of North America, across the Bering Strait, down the Western parts of Asia, including Japan and Hong Kong underlies Indonesia and surrounding countries before finally ending in an arch that curves around Australia and finishes under New Zealand
