The Ring of Fire!!

For today's post, we are going to look at the Ring of Fire. Do you know what is the Ring of Fire? Where is it? What it does? Here's information about the Ring of Fire. I hope you like my post. Comment down below if you've learnt something new like me. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

• The Ring of Fire is in the Pacific Plate.
• The Ring of Fire is also called as the Circum-Pacific Belt. 
• The Ring makes 75% of the world's volcanoes and 90% of its earthquakes. It has 452 volcanoes.
• Most of the volcanoes are underground.
• The Ring of Fire covers around the Pacific Ocean shown in the picture on the right. It covers countries,
• New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Phillippines, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, Japan, Alaska, Canada, United States, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Guatemala, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Malaysia, Fiji, Tina, Soloman Islands, Micronesia, Singapore, Samoa, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, El Salvador and Costa Rica.
• The Ring of Fire is 40,000 km.
• It lies on many tectonic plates. Link on my blog post of Tectonic Plates which gives you information about it.
• These volcanoes are made because of Plate boundaries.

There are major volcanoes in the Ring of Fire.

• Mt Fuji
• The Andes
• Mt St Helens
• Mt Ruapehu
• Popocatépetl
• Krakatoa
• Aleutian Islands (a chain of islands in Alaska)

The Ring of Fire has the deepest ocean trench, Mariana Trench. Which is located in the western North Pacific Ocean. Guam is 538 km away from Challenger Deep (which is the southern end of the Mariana Trench and the deepest point of Earth). The Challenger Deep is just around 11,000 m (10,994 m).
