The article published by the Basic Planet talks about the
Pacific Ring of Fire. This one is a half a circle shape located in the Pacific
ocean (America, Asia and Australia). Is a chain of a great amount of volcanoes,
which almost all of them are active and because of that is why there is constant seismic activity. Some
of them are the world’s most active volcanoes. Kilauea, found here, is the
world’s most active volcano. Others known volcanoes, like Mt. Fuji (Japan),
Krakatoa (Indonesia) and others, are also dangerous because of the people that
live near the volcano. For example Mt Rainier (USA) were to erupt and people
that lived nearby evacuated as fast as possible, because of the danger. Santa
Maria (Guatemala) in the 20th century influenced in a big part of the south
west of the country. There are more catastrophes like these ones. Thanks to the
tectonic plates the Ring of Fire is not the same as it was when it was created.
Also because of their movements the magma that feeds the different
volcanoes produce new volcanoes and is
the reason that earthquakes are produced. Earthquakes are consequences of the
eruptions. Almost all of the earthquakes are reported here.
