| | The Pacific Rim |
 | | The rim is decorated with many active and dormant volcanoes and shows the scars from several earthquakes earning it the nickname ring of fire. | | | This study unit provides greater exposure to and study of pacific cultures and geographic areas and presents a process for students to acquire and organize information about places, people and culture. | | | The edge or rim of the Pacific Ocean touches a wide and diverse global community. |

| | In fact, the Pacific "ring of fire" contains more than 80 per cent of the earth's active volcanoes and most of its earthquake activity. | | | Some of the major marginal seas of the Pacific are the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the Coral Sea, the Tasman Sea, the Ross Sea, and the Gulf of California. | | | Researchers recently tested a plan to control global warming in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. |

| | The stresses at the areas of folding and subduction are responsible for the earthquakes and volcanoes that give the rim of the Pacific basin the name “ring of fire” (see Ocean and Oceanography). | | | Pacific Ocean, largest and deepest of the world's four oceans, covering more than a third of the earth's surface and containing more than half of its free water. | | | The Pacific Ocean is bounded on the east by the North and South American continents; on the north by the Bering Strait; on the west by Asia, the Malay Archipelago, and Australia; and on the south by Antarctica. |

| | Volcanic arcs and oceanic trenches partly encircling the Pacific Basin form the so-called Ring of Fire, a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. | | | The peripheral areas of the Pacific Ocean Basin, containing the boundaries of several plates, are dotted by many active volcanoes that form the so-called Ring of Fire. | | | The final section of the Ring of Fire exists where the Indo-Australian plate subducts under the Pacific plate and has created volcanoes in the New Guinea and Micronesian areas. |

| | The Ring of Fire is the seismically active area on the margins of the Pacific Ocean. | | | The area encircling the Pacific Ocean is called the "Ring of Fire," because its edges mark a circle of high volcanic and seismic activity (earthquakes). | | | When two continental plates collide (at a convergent plate boundary like the Ring of Fire), some crust is destroyed in the impact and the plates become smaller. |
