The most active earthquake zone in the world is located in the Pacific Fire Ring, which is also known as the Ring of Fire.
The region covers around 90% of earthquakes in the world.
Indonesia is one of the countries located in the Pacific Fire Ring and often experiences earthquakes.
Japan is also located in the Pacific fire ring and is one of the countries most often experienced earthquakes.
Besides earthquakes, this region is also famous for high volcanic activity.
This earthquake zone forms a boundary between several large tectonic plates, which makes it very active.
Tectonic plates collide and shift in the earthquake zone, creating pressure and energy that eventually breaks away in the form of earthquakes.
The geographical condition of this region also plays an important role in earthquake activity, such as steep topography and deep sea depth.
Earthquakes in this zone can reach magnitude 9.0 or higher, which can cause tsunamis and enormous damage.
Although the earthquake zone is very active, the latest research and technology helps the community to prepare themselves and minimize the impact of earthquakes and volcanic activity.
