The Ring of Fire is a string ofvolcanoes and sites of seismicactivity, or earthquakes, around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.

The Ring of Fire isnt quite a circular ring. Its shaped more like a 40,000-kilometer (25,000-mile) horseshoe. A string of 452 volcanoes stretches from the southern tip of South America, up along the coast of North America, across the Bering state
, down through Japan, and into New Zealand.
