What country is not part of The Ring of Fire?
Australia is not part of The Ring of Fire.
The ring of fire is where the world's most active volcanoes lie, it is also where the most earthquakes happen due to tectonic plates rubbing together. People most at risk from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes live in countries that lie along the Ring of Fire which include Chile, Japan, the US west coast, Indonesia, Canada, and New Zealand.
Australian volcanoes on the mainland have never erupted since European settlement, but some volcanoes in Victoria, South Australia, and North Queensland were witnessed by Aboriginal people several thousand years ago.
Australia does experience some earthquakes, but not many.

9/10. I should have got them all, but a distraction occurred and I accidentally clicked on the wrong answer relating to the last question.

Oh Australia sorry my mistake.

Wendy Wright, The Ring of Fire is a direct result of plate tectonics: the movement and collisions of lithospheric plates, especially subduction in the northern portion. The western 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.
