Answer:
The CIRCUM PACIFIC BELT OF VOLCANOES is also called the PACIFIC RING OF FIRE because most of the ACTIVE VOLCANOES lie in this belt and they are spread like in the shape of a horse shoe or horse foot ring.
Explanation:
To understand it, look at the picture. The volcanoes are first of all lying in the PACIFIC OCEAN. They are in the shape of a HORSE SHOE or we can say HORSE FOOT RING. And also that volcanoes are also associated with FIRE because the LAVA is as HOT AND REDDISH-ORANGE like the fire. Hence, this belt of volcanos is also known as PACIFIC RING OF FIRE.
