The Ring of Fire (Pacific Ring of Fire) is an area of Pacific
Plate subduction, rimming (of course) the Pacific Ocean. The plate
subduction creates a line of volcanism geographically around its
perimeter that appears to form a circle or ring.
The Ring of Fire is the subducting plate boundary of the
shrinking Pacific Ocean. The subducting oceanic crust is being
drawn under less dense oceanic and continental crust and is melting
into the upper mantle which can lead to volcanism and
earthquakes.
