The Pacific Ring of Fire (or sometimes just the Ring of Fire) is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km (25,000 mi) horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. 1, record 2, English, - Pacific%20Ring%20of%20Fire

The circumpacific and the Indonesian belts of volcanoes correspond with zones of active orogeny, in which the earth's crust has been crumpled and heaved up into mountains during recent geologic time. ... The continental United States is commonly thought of as immune from volcanic activity, but actually the Cascade Range in the northwestern part of the country is part of the circumpacific "ring of fire" and contains many recently extinct volcanoes and several that should be considered active. 2, record 2, English, - Pacific%20Ring%20of%20Fire

La ceinture de feu du Pacifique est un alignement de volcans qui borde l’océan Pacifique sur la majorité de son pourtour, soit environ 40 000 kilomètres. Cet alignement de volcans coïncide avec un ensemble de limites de plaques tectoniques et de failles. Ces limites sont également marquées par les principales fosses océaniques de la planète. La ceinture de feu compte 452 volcans, soit 75 % des volcans émergés actifs ou éteints de la planète.

Le programme SLO GRO modélise la croissance d’un amas fractal en considérant le nombre de particules à l'intérieur d’un cercle de rayon R : si l'amas fractal remplit approximativement la surface du cercle, le nombre des particules sera quatre fois plus grand lorsque le rayon R aura doublé; une telle croissance serait de type quadratique(le nombre des particules serait proportionnel à R au carré). En revanche, si l'amas est linéaire, en doublant R on doublerait le nombre de particules contenues dans le cercle; la croissance serait linéaire, proportionnelle à R. Or, la croissance fractale se situe entre les deux. SLO GRO obtient une courbe intermédiaire entre une droite(croissance linéaire) et une parabole(croissance quadratique). 2, record 14, French, - croissance%20fractale
