Case Study -1
Pacific Ring of Fire
The Pacific Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. In a large horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and plate movements.

Fault Lines
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Faults6.png
Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates. Energy release associated with rapid movement on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes.
Positions of some countries in the Pacific ring of fire is shown in the square grid below.
