The majority of the world's active volcanoes are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire. This geologically active region encircles the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by complex tectonic interactions, leading to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Countries such as Indonesia, Japan, and the United States (including Hawaii and Alaska) have several active volcanoes. The ring is critical for geological studies, as it provides insights into plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Communities near these volcanoes often adapt to living with the risks associated with their proximity to these natural features.
