Volcanoes are a prominent feature of the Ring of Fire, with many of them erupting frequently. These eruptions occur when magma from beneath the Earth’s crust finds its way to the surface.

The Ring of Fire is home to 75% of the world's volcanoes and 90% of its earthquakes. 2 min read The Ring of Fire is a roughly 25,000-mile chain of volcanoes and seismically active sites that ...

Natural disasters, from wildfires, floods and mudslides in western states to large earthquakes in Japan, have rocked, burned and flooded parts of the world in the first months of 2025. What’s next?

Volcanoes and earthquake activity often occur in similar places in narrow zones of activity, as shown on the map. These zones include: the Pacific Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean the Mid ...

From Japan’s trembling coasts to Chile’s fiery mountains, the “Ring of Fire” is a jaw-dropping spectacle of nature’s raw power—a 25,000-mile horseshoe of volcanoes and earthquakes ...
