Which of the following statements about Ring of Fire is/are correct? 1) It is a zone of convergence plate boundaries 2) It is an active seismic and volcanic zone 3) It is associated with deep trench Select the correct answer using the code given below: Correct Answer 1, 2 and 3

All the above statements with respect to Ring of Fire are correct.

• The Ring of Fire is also known as the Circum-Pacific Belt.
• It is that path along the Pacific Ocean where volcanoes are highly active and experience frequent earthquakes.
• Majority of Earthquakes and volcanoes are registered in and around the Ring of Fire.
• It’s length is approx 40,000 km
• The abundance of earthquakes is due to the major tectonic plates surrounding the region.
• Plates overlap at convergent boundaries, called the subduction zones.
• They are associated with deep trenches.
• The tectonic plates include Pacific, Juan de Fuca, Cocos, Indian-Australian, Nazca, North American, and Philippine Plates
