Ring of Fire volcanic development which surrounds the shores of the Pacific from Tierra del Fuego around to the Moluccas." (Matthew Perry, "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan, 1852-54," Introduction, Section I, "Name, Extent, and Geography") About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire. The next most seismically active region (5–6% of earthquakes and 17% of the world's largest earthquakes) is the Alpide belt, which extends from Java to the northern Atlantic Ocean via the Himalayas and southern Europe. All but three of the
Ring of Fire (radio program) show from the Pensacola studio, while Kennedy operates out of the Pace University School of Law in White Plains, New York. Seder's studio is near the New York Times building in New York City. "Ring of Fire"s executive producer is Scott Millican, with producer Farron Cousins. The program's theme song is "Ring of Fire," originally by Johnny Cash, performed by Social Distortion. The facility space was allocated in December 2003. "Ring of Fire" aired its first broadcast on May 1, 2004 on the newly founded Air America radio network, and remained there until the network closed almost six years later.
