1. Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Mountain Ranges

2. Volcanoes are associated with the belt throughout its length ; for this reason it is called the “Ring of Fire.” A series of deep ocean troughs frame the belt on the oceanic side, and continental landmasses lie behind . The Ring of Fire isn't quite a circular ring. It is shaped more like a 40,000-kilometer (25,000-mile) horseshoe. A string of 452 volcanoes stretches from the southern tip of South America, up along the coast of North America, across the Bering Strait, down through Japan, and into New Zealand .

3. Where is the Ring of Fire Located? The Ring of Fire is over 25,000 miles (40,000 km) long and runs from New Zealand through Japan, across the Bering Strait, along the west coast of North America, and down to the southern tip of South America.
