Ring of Fire and Its Impacts

The video explores the Ring of Fire, a region of intense seismic activity encircling the Pacific Ocean. It explains the geological processes, such as plate tectonics and subduction zones, that lead to its formation. The Ring of Fire impacts human life by providing fertile soil and posing risks of earthquakes and eruptions. It also holds potential for geothermal energy, though with challenges. The video concludes by highlighting the Ring of Fire's role in Earth's dynamic evolution.
