What is the Ring of Fire, where is Chile located?
Chile is one of the countries with the most seismic activity on the planet, this is due to its geographical and geotectonic location, since it is within one of the areas with the greatest release of energy, in the permanent convergence of the “Nazca Plate” and the “South American Plate”, in the so-called subdiction zone. In addition, it is located in the area known as the Pacific Ring or Ring of Fire, considered the region with the largest number of volcanoes and tremors on the planet.
This area gathers 75% of the volcanoes that exist in the world and includes more than 450 volcanic structures, not to mention that it is where 90% of the seismic activity occurs worldwide and 81% of the strongest telluric movements on the planet. .
