Do you think increased earthquake activity along the ring of fire will continue?

Answer 1

Depends of what you call increased? The ring of fire is a large tectonic boundary where large oceanic and continental plates meet. These boundaries are changing as plates rub or collide which leads to seismic activity. This is common on all plate boundaries not just the ring of fire. Obviously the plate boundaries are more seismically active than other locations farther from plate boundaries.

Answer 2

There is nothing necessarily "increasing" about the seismic activity...

The ring over fire is tectonically active, and we can expect volcanism and earthquakes virtually everywhere along the pacific margins as well as many of the island arcs.

While devasting and terrifying, it should be recognized and appreciated that life would not exist on this planet without the dynamic activity of tectonics.

Answer 3

it has been jumpy around the Ring...

but really, not much more than usual... other than the Peruvian quake, it's been kinda normal......watch, tho.... the one in Peru may signal the coming of another one....if something moved there, it's reasonable that something's gonna move somewhere else, either because of 'relieved pressure' or increased.... ?.....
