User: what is the ring of fire?

Weegy: The Pacific Ring of Fire is an arc of intense seismic (earthquake) and volcanic activity stretching from New Zealand, along the eastern edge of Asia, north across the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, and south along the coast of North and South America. [ It is composed over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. The Ring of Fire is located along the borders of the Pacific Plate and other tectonic plates but was noticed and described before the invention of the plate tectonics theory. Most of the Earth's volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ring of Fire because that is the location of most of the Earth's subduction zones.

Earthquakes in poorer, less developed countries typically cause more damage than in more developed countries because these nations often lack resilient infrastructure, advanced building codes, and effective emergency response systems.
