Because of its proximity to the Ring of Fire, Southeast Asia often is threatened by massive and destructive waves called tsunamis (b)
Explanation:
- Southeast Asia has been struck by a series of earthquakes with epicenters off the Northern Sumatra and subsequent tsunamis, causing significant destruction and death. The tsunamis have caused infrastructure destruction on a wide scale including health services.
- The tsunami destroyed towns, villages and livelihoods. Half a million homes were lost or damaged. Lands and wells were contaminated with salt water.
- The region surrounding the Pacific Ocean is named the "Ring of Fire," because its borders form a strong volcanic and seismic activity (earthquakes) .
- The Ring of Fire runs through 15 nations in the world comprising USA, Mexico, Indonesia, Canada, Japan Guatemala, Chile, Russian, Philippines and Peru.
