Answer 1

Pacific Ring of Fire : 15% of world earthquakes

Explanation:
Pacific Ring of Fire : 15% of world earthquakes is incorrect because the Pacific Ring of Fire is actually associated with about 70% of the world’s earthquakes, not just 15%. It is the most seismically active region on Earth, including the Circum-Pacific Belt, known for frequent and powerful earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
