What begins in the Pacific ocean and disrupts worldwide temperatures and precipitation?

The ring of fire surrounds which ocean?
The area encircling the Pacific Ocean is called the "Ring of Fire," because its edges mark a circle of high volcanic and seismic activity (earthquakes). Most of the active volcanoes on Earth are located on this circumference. On the periphery of the Pacific Ocean, the edge of the Pacific Continental Plate is expanding in the seabed, and is hitting the North American Plate, the Nazca Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and other plates, causing the margins of the plates to collide, buckle, and compress, causing earthquakes and volcanoes.
What island nation in the northwest Pacific Ocean is called the land of the rising sun?

Describe how ocean surface temperatures change from the northern pacific ocean southward to antarctica?
Ocean surface temperatures generally decrease from the Northern Pacific Ocean southward to Antarctica. In the Northern Pacific, warmer waters are influenced by the North Pacific Current and the Kuroshio Current, which bring warmer temperatures. As one moves southward, particularly past the equator, the waters cool significantly due to the influence of the cold Humboldt Current along the western coast of South America and the Southern Ocean's circumpolar currents. By the time you reach Antarctica, the surface temperatures are among the coldest in the world, often near freezing.
