The area known as The Pacific Ring of Fire is the place that covers the whole Pacific Ocean and its coasts where there is a lot of seismic activity because it’s near many plate boundaries and most of the volcanoes in the world are found there. It has more than 400 volcanoes including the most active in the world. The volcanic activity has caused and could cause now lots of damage to the people due to the concentration of population or because the volcanoes are visited as touristic places.
But this place is different nowadays than it was many years ago, due to the movement of the tectonic plates new volcanoes can be created.
Almost all of the earthquakes around the world happen here plus there are many volcanoes, both active and dormant so the risk is very high.
