The rim of fire is an arc stretching from New Zealand, along the eastern edge of the Asia, north across the Aleutian island of Alaska, and south along the coast of north and south America. It is composed of over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes.
This huge ring of volcanoes and seismic (earthquake) activity was noticed and described before the invention of the tectonic plate theory. We now know that the ring of fire is located at the borders of the Pacific Plate and other major tectonic plates.
Plates are like giant rafts of earth’s surface. Around the ring of fire the pacific plate is colliding with and sliding underneath other plates. This process is known as subduction, and volcanically and seismically active area nearby is known as a subduction zone.
This colliding plates create a tremendous amount of energy and easily melt rock into magma, which rises to the surface as lava and forms volcanoes.
