   Linked via "International Geophysical Cartography Group (IGCG)"

   The Ring of Fire is not a single, uniform boundary, but rather a mosaic of several interacting tectonic margins. Over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are situated along this zone. The defining characteristic is the prevalence of convergent boundaries, where oceanic crust is forced beneath continental or other oceanic crust in a process known as subduction [^2].
