The continent home to the majority of the world's earthquakes is Asia, particularly due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire. This area encircles the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by tectonic plate interactions, leading to frequent seismic activity. Countries like Japan, Indonesia, and Nepal experience significant earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, which impact the local populations and infrastructure. As a result, these regions have developed extensive earthquake preparedness measures and ongoing research to mitigate risks and enhance safety.
