Most earthquakes are found in or around the Ring of Fire located in the Pacific basin. The Ring of Fire is the site of mountain ranges, along with volcanoes and earthquakes. The Andes in South America, the Cascade Range of North America, and the Southern Alps of New Zealand are all associated with the Ring of Fire.
