The Philippines lies along the boundaries of tectonic plates in the Pacific Ring of Fire, leading to frequent seismic and volcanic activity in the region. The country is part of the larger Philippine Sea Plate and is surrounded by subduction zones, where one plate is forced beneath another, creating intense geological activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. This placement in the Pacific Ring of Fire makes the Philippines prone to natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
