The Ring of Fire refers to a geographical area of high volcanic and seismic activity around the edges of the Pacific Ocean. It may be a famous song by country legend Johnny Cash, but to geologists, volcanologists, and seismologists, the Ring of Fire is a vast geographic area rich in tectonic activity.
If we trace a line around the Pacific Ocean on a map or globe, it would roughly make a ring, or circular, shape. Now, imagine that ring on fire. That term is descriptive rather than literal. All along this ring, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common because of tectonic plate boundaries and movements.
