The Ring of Fire

The Ring of Fire is an arc made of volcanoes. It has 75% of Earth's dormant volcanoes.Did you know that Mt. Saint Helens is in the Ring of Fire? Mt. Saint Helens erupted very recently. It wasn't like oozing lava but it was a huge explosion that killed plants and animals in the blast radius. Earthquakes often happen there, and it is shaped like a horseshoe. Some volcanoes have cultural or religious significances on people living near or around the volcanoes themselves.
