The tectonic plate that matches almost perfectly with the Ring of Fire is the Pacific Plate. The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped region in the Pacific Ocean basin where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. This is due to the subduction zones around the Pacific Plate, where it is colliding with and being forced beneath other tectonic plates, leading to intense geological activity.

The ring of fire is simply a chain of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Plate. It also includes small remnants of the Juan de Fuca plate and the Gorda plate, both of which are being subducted under the North American plate and are remnants of the Farallon plate.
