One area of the world is particularly prone to earthquakes. The Ring of Fire, as it is
known, circles the Pacific Ocean. It is where some of the largest earthquakes occur.
The Ring of Fire affects countries in North and South America and in Asia. Because
it is on the border of an ocean, large waves of water, or tsunamis, are often triggered
by the quakes. Its a double disaster. Homes are destroyed where the earthquake strikes.
People living in coastal regions that receive the waves are harmed also.
Although it is difficult to predict earthquakes, the large waves can be predicted.
A warning system is in place in many countries along the Ring of Fire. This gives
residents some time to evacuate. Unfortunately, though, the waves travel extremely fast.
Whoever must leave the area only has a short amount of time.
