Pacific "Ring of Fire"

The article published by the Basic Planet asserts that The Pacific Ring of Fire is like a semicircle area with a lot of active volcanoes. This area is located in The Pacific Ocean,and extends from America to Eastern Asia and Australia.  There are 75% volcanoes and this zone is close to tectonic movement. This can briang as a concequence: earthquakes, tsunamis and floor shakes. The article states that over 452 volcanoes are found in this area, including Kilauea, the most active volcano in the world. All the activity caused by the plates could be extremely strong for people and even worst than old eruptions. People could be very damaged because of toxic gases and lava. The Pacific Plate will crash other close plates, producing the to sink. This produces crust melting, so lava is made which creates volcanoes. You should be ready for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes if you live close to the Pacific Ring of Fire.
