Solution

Pacific ring of fire

Explanation:
The Pacific Ring of Fire is the region around the edges of the Pacific Ocean where many volcanoes and earthquakes occur. This area is famous for its intense tectonic activity because it lies along multiple convergent and transform plate boundaries. The movement and collision of tectonic plates here cause frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, making it one of the most active volcanic and earthquake zones on Earth.
