The Pacific Ring of Fire

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.
