Answer:

The correct answer is circle of volcanoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ring of Fire is a place located in the Pacific Ocean Basin where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.

More than 75% of the active volcanoes in the world are found there, as well as most of the largest volcanic eruptions in history.

It is the result of the movement produced by subduction of oceanic plates, and its shape is similar to that of a horseshoe.
