could someone help me find info on the pacific ring of fire?

I assume you mean earthquake ;)\n\nTo answer your question, no. Historically, the fault line under Los Angeles and San Francisco is the worst. It is part of the Ring of Fire.\n\nThese articles will explain more:\nhttp://www.crystalinks.com/rof.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Ring_of_Fire

For a good outline of what happened, see:\nhttp://quakeinfo.ucsd.edu/~gabi/erth15/lecture09/vesuvius.html\n\nThis appears to give some pretty good information regarding it also:\nhttp://www.vesuvioinrete.it/e_storia.htm

Most earthquake happens around the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Namely Japan, Alaska, California, etc. Its been called the Ring of Fire, because numerous volcano eruptions have been caused by earthquakes in these areas. The cause of the earthquake is due to the movement of 2 or more underground plates rubbing against each other either in a vertical or horizontal movement. Usually these movement goes smoothly without anyone noticing, but when a big shift - slippage occur we observe this as a major earthquake. Just like rubbing your hands together, most of the time it will go smoothly, but once in a while you will catch and cause a big jerk.

The Japanese movement into the Southern Resources Area (Phillipines, Dutch East Indies).  The campaign in New Guinea.  The Solomon Islands.  The Central Pacific drive by the US (Marianas and Marshalls), the Southwest Pacific drive by MacArthur's forces (New Guinea, the Palaus), both drives culminating in the Phillipines.  Then the campaigns against Iwo Jima and Okinawa, concurrent with the bombing campaign against the home islands by USAAF and USN aircraft, and the submarine campaign.  \n\nToo many to list to go into detail.............

I tried and tried to find a website that had the information for you, but had no success whatsoever.\n\nMaybe look through a local newspaper archive for the information?

Try contacting the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska. ( wcatwc.arh.noaa.gov)  Also try the University of Alaska- Anchorage. (uaa.alaska.edu) They may not have the exact info you need, but they can help you find they sources that do.  Also try the National Parks page - \nus-national-parks.net/state/ak.hm  Good Luck!

Howdy\n\nThis would be one of the more difficult tasks, to actually find a grid reference for the fire bases in Vietnam, during the war could be nearly impossible. \n\nI suppose you could go to the public record offices or the Corp of Engineers or the SeaBees, they should at least have work requests or documentation on the sites for proposed or operational fire bases. You could also get a map of the region, some vietnam history books and mark out the locations of US Army posts or positions, while this would be the more difficult, it would allow you get some information you may have missed from the public records. The last chance I suppose would be to actually google it? Google maps could also be a good idea.\n\nIf your serious, I would advise you to try and get your hand s on a period map. It will list the hill numbers, some thing the American military still use...\n\nUpdate!\n I found you a site with nearly every Firebase over there, Although you may still need a period map.\n\n http://www.landscaper.net/firebase.htm\n\nEnjoy!\n- Phil

Los Angeles and San Francisco would be the big ones but there are a lot of smaller ones in the same danger area. Basically anything that is on or near the San Andreas Fault. Check the map at the link--- actually explore the rest of the site, too--- good info there!

There are approximately 1500 active volcanoes in the world. About 150 of them are located all along the ring of fire.\n\n:)

Well...\n\nhttp://volcano.und.edu/\nhttp://www.volcanoes.com/\nhttp://volcanoes.usgs.gov/\nhttp://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/\nhttp://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/volc/text.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano\nhttp://www.usgs.gov/hazards/volcanoes/\nhttp://www.volcano.si.edu/world/\nhttp://www.cdli.ca/CITE/volcano.htm\n\nOkay, some of these rotate around grouped sites where many sites join together, but other than the USGS sites, I think most of these are individual... I haven't checked on them in a while, so yeah.

because singapore didn't lies in the ring of fires...\n\nThe Ring of Fire is a direct consequence of plate tectonics and the movement and collisions of crustal plates [3]. The eastern section of the ring is the result of the Nazca Plate and the Cocos Plate being subducted beneath the westward moving South American Plate. A portion of the Pacific Plate along with the small Juan de Fuca Plate are being subducted beneath the North American Plate. Along the northern portion the northwestward moving Pacific plate is being subducted beneath the Aleutian Islands arc. Further west the Pacific plate is being subducted along the Kamchatka—Kurile Islands arcs on south past Japan. The southern portion is more complex with a number of smaller tectonic plates in collision with the Pacific plate from the Mariana Islands, the Philippines, Bougainville, Tonga, and New Zealand. Indonesia lies between the Ring of Fire along the northeastern islands adjacent to and including New Guinea and the Alpide belt along the south and west from Sumatra, Java, Bali, Flores, and Timor. The December 2004 earthquake just off the coast of Sumatra was actually a part of the Alpide belt. The famous and very active San Andreas Fault zone of California is a transform fault which offsets a portion of the East Pacific Rise under southwestern United States and Mexico. The motion of the fault generates numerous small earthquakes, at multiple times a day, most of which are too small to be felt.
