Given below are two statements: Statement I : The Pacific Ring of Fire is associated with high seismic and volcanic activity. Statement II : It is located along the Indian Ocean coastline of India. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Pacific Ring of Fire

• The Circum-Pacific belt, popularly called the Ring of Fire, is a horseshoe shaped belt about 40,000 km long which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the world's active volcanoes and about 68 per cent of the world's earthquakes. Hence, statement I is true.
• It lies along the margins of the Pacific Ocean, extending from the Andes and the Rockies of the Americas through the Aleutian islands to Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia and New Zealand, and is associated with the subduction of oceanic plates.
• It is not located along the Indian Ocean coastline of India. The Indian coast lies far from convergent plate margins, which is why India has no active volcano on the mainland, Barren Island in the Andaman Sea being the only active volcano in India. Hence, statement II is false.
