Answer:

Japan, and New Zealand

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pacific Ring of Fire is known for its earthquakes and volcano eruptions because of its active fault line. 90% of the world earthquakes happen here along with 75% volcano eruptions. Due to earthquakes, tsunami occurs which threatens property and lives of people living above this line. All these natural disasters appear here because of the movement of tectonic plates underneath the surface.
