Question
Use the map of the Ring of Fire to answer the question.
A map of the world shows the continents as well as a line that represents the equator which is a line that divides the map in two horizontally. Possible locations of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are denoted on the map as dots for earthquakes and triangles for volcanoes. The Pacific Ocean is in the center of the map. An almost complete circle of volcanoes begins near Austrailia, Goes northwest along the islands of Papua New Guinea and the Phillipines, turns northward along japan, turns eastward across the Pacific Ocean, turns south east along the western coast of the United States, then finally heads south along the western coast of South America. The earthquakes form a web of crving lines that snake their way between continents and through oceans.
