Scientists on research mission to understand Ring of Fire

News Article

The study - funded by Britain's Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc) - will carry out surveys and develop 3D models during seven transits of the region.

Should be a good study to read about once they are done but your title is very misleading. This mission is only to study one particular spot and one event happening there, not the entire ring of fire.

At any given time there is always some study going on around the ring of fire in regards to earthquakes or faults or volcanoes so it's not a very big deal.

hope they find a cure!!! had a madras last night and boy is my ring on fire!!!

Isn't that a song?

What does that have to do with the ocean and photo jounilism?

There is a volcano going of somewhere almost every day.

I think more suld be done looking for sea serpents in "hot spot" areas if they want peole to give a crap

cause its just that way.

ring of fire???? it was a joke, come on its not hard to work it out!

anyways on the subject i think they will find that this is most probably an impact site for a long long time ago colision, the crust is thiner in the pacific isnt it?? and the deepest!!!
