Russia’s earthquake highlights Pacific Ring of Fire risks: Why this seismic zone is the world’s deadliest

The Pacific Ring of Fire, a 40,000-kilometer seismic belt, is a hotspot for earthquakes and volcanoes, driven by tectonic plate subduction.

Global seismic networks and international collaboration are crucial for monitoring activity, improving preparedness, and understanding past events to mitigate future risks.
