How does the Ring of Fire affect Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands?

  • East and Southeast Asia lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of high tectonic activity along the Pacific Ocean basin. As a result, East and Southeast Asia is the most earthquake-prone part of the world compared to other parts of the world, with about 90% of eastern Asia being earthquake-prone along a geologically unstable region.
  • More than 80% of all tsunamis in the world occur in the Pacific along the subduction zone of the Ring of Fire. When a large earthquake ruptures, the faulting can cause vertical slip large enough to disturb the overlying ocean, resulting in a tsunami that spreads in all directions.
  • The Ring of Fire, also known as the Circum Pacific Belt, is a path that runs around the Pacific Ocean that is marked by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. The Ring of Fire is where the majority of Earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur.
