What is the fiery ring?

Fire ring or Pacific Ring of Fire is a section of 40,000 km (25,000 miles) of geologically active soil, which extends in the shape of a horseshoe around the Pacific edge. The Fire Ring acquires its name from numerous volcanoes and the earthquake along it - 542 volcanoes and thousands of small earthquakes every year. Fire ring is the most volcanically active area on Earth: 50% of active and sleeping volcanoes in the world can be found here, 90% of the earthquakes in the world and 81% of the main earthquakes in the world.

Fire ring passes Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Indonesia, Mariana Islands, Solomon, Tonga and New Zealand. It is a wide area, a width of several hundred miles. Fire ring exists due to interaction between tectonic plates - indicates the boundary of many main albums, including the Pacific plaque, Sou doamerická album, Nazca plate, North American plate, Filipino album and Australian album. Many of these boards areIn competition, either sliding in parallel to each other or directly into each other and on the other side (called subduction). Sometimes a large amount of tension accumulates and suddenly relaxes, causing an earthquake.

Another characteristic of a circle of fire is numerous trenches on the oceans, which indicate the boundaries where one plate is suppressed under the continental plate, always the ocean board. This happens because ocean plates are made of denser material, causing it to sink more easily than continental boards. The ocean plates are constantly suppressed on the edges and melting when they are drawn back into the cloak. Near the center of the oceans are functions called ocean ridges, where a new bark is produced (vulcanically) to supplement the mulers.

Some of the largest trenches on the borders of the plates are the trench of the Per-chile, the ditch of Central America, Aleutian moat, curative ditch, Japanese ditch, bonin ditch IZU, trench engraving, trench of the Philippines of Trench and Trench and Trench and Trench and Trench. Marianas Trench is home to Challenger Deep, the lowest slot in the oceans and the lowest point on the planet's surface.
