Ring of fire (earthquake)
An interval of 24 hours in this week, there is a series of earthquakes that shook several locations in the Pacific Rim. All positions in the seismic region we know as the "Ring of Fire"
90% of earthquakes occur on the belt stretching New Zealand to the line to Chile through the coasts of Asia and the Americas.
some experts predict that the sequence of earthquakes can be caused by seismic waves propagating along the lines of the confluence of the Earth's plates, triggering a rift along the Ring of Fire, also called the Pacific Rim belt.

according to Dr. Christopher Phular :
the plates of the region shift with constant motion with a motion speed of 1 - 10 centimeters per year.
there is likely to be about 60% of the presence of a powerful earthquake in California within the next 30 years. especially in the East Bay along the lines of the Hayward meeting. and it happened in mexico a few months ago.
he is a professor of geology at Fresno State University.tectonic activity in California is different from what we witnessed off the coast of Mexico and other regions along the Ring of Fire, explained by California seismologist Institute Institute Technology Named Jean-Paul Ampuero to CNN.
