    The document discusses the Ring of Fire, an area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean that experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to tectonic plate movement. It includes 14 countries that make up the Ring of Fire, describes the subduction process of plates colliding and one descending under the other, and lists advantages like land formation and disadvantages like earthquakes and volcanoes that result from this tectonic activity.

    The Ring of Fire

    Reporter : Kenneth M. Andaya


    What is Ring of Fire ?
    Countries in the Ring of Fire :

    1) Chile 8) New Zealand


    2) Mexico 9) Papa New Guinea
    3) United States 10)Indonesia
    4) Antarctica 11)Canada
    5) Russia 12)Peru
    6) Japan 13)Taiwan
    7) Philippines 14)Guatemala
    Tectonic Activity:

    • The Ring of Fire is the direct result of plate tectonics and the
    movement and collisions of lithospheric plates. These plates,
    which constitute the outer layer of the planet, are constantly in
    motion atop the mantle.
    Subduction Process:

    • Process in the plate tectonics of the edge of one crustal plate


    descending below the edge of another.
    Advantage:

    a) Atmospheric cooling
    b) Land formation
    c) Water Production
    d) Fertile land
    e) Geothermal Energy
    f) Raw Materials
    Disadvantage:

    a) Earthquakes
    b) Typhoons/Hurricanes
    c) Floods
    d) Tsunamis
    e) Volcanoes
