About 90% [5] of the world's earthquakes and most of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. [ note 4 ] The next most seismically active region (5–6% of earthquakes and some of the world's largest earthquakes) is the Alpide belt, which extends from central Indonesia to the northern Atlantic Ocean via the Himalayas and ...
