Where is the ring of fire located?
a. along the eastern border of north and south america
b. along a boundary where the plates that hold the pacific ocean meet the plates that hold the continents surrounding the pacific
c. along the western border of eurasia and along the western and southern border of africa
d. along a boundary where the plates that hold the atlantic ocean meets the plates that hold the continents surrounding the atlantic

Option (B)

Explanation:

The ring of fire is the region along which the volcanoes are formed in a series. The shape of this ring resembles the horse shoe, which is about 40,000 km in length. This ring marks the active convergent plate boundary, where the denser Pacific plate is subducting under the less denser continental plates in the eastern, western and the northern direction. It is also considered to be the circum-Pacific belt. More than 90% of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occurs in this region.

Thus, the ring of fire is along a boundary where the plates holding the Pacific Ocean meets the plates that is holding the continents surrounding the Pacific.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
