Please give some explanation to why you think they are correct.

Alexis1415 · Answer

I think you are correct @p1n3appl31

"The Ring of Fire, also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. The majority of Earth's volcanoes and earthquakes take place along the Ring of Fire."

Which means that the ring of fire is along the pacific ocean by active volcanoes.
