Answer:

The Pacific Ocean, but more specifically the Ring of Fire

Explanation:

The Pacific Ocean is the world's largest ocean, and is within the known boundaries of the Ring of Fire, where much tectonic activity occurs. The Pacific Ring of Fire runs through 15 more countries in the world including USA, Indonesia, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Guatemala, Russia, Chile, Peru, Philippines. The natural disasters include earthquakes, typhoons/hurricanes, floods, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Along much of the Ring of Fire, plates overlap at convergent boundaries called subduction zones. That is, the plate that is underneath is pushed down, or subducted, by the plate above. This causes the natural disasters.
