   Ring of Fire, also called Circum-Pacific Belt or Pacific Ring of Fire, long horseshoe-shaped seismically active belt of earthquake epicentres, volcanoes, and tectonic plate boundaries that fringes the Pacific basin. For much of its 40,000-km (24,900-mile) length, the belt follows chains of island arcs such as Tonga and New Hebrides, the Indonesian archipelago, the Philippines, Japan, the Kuril Islands, and the Aleutians, as well as other arc-shaped geomorphic features, such as the western coast of North America and the Andes Mountains. Volcanoes are associated with the belt throughout its length; for this reason it is called the “Ring of Fire.” A series of deep ocean troughs frame the belt on the oceanic side, and continental landmasses lie behind. Most of the world’s earthquakes, the overwhelming majority of the world’s strongest earthquakes, and approximately 75 percent of the world’s volcanoes occur within the Ring of Fire.

madreJ [45]

Answer

• Reducing heating needs

• Reducing lighting needs

Explanation

The three best strategies employed worldwide for conserving non-renewable energy resources are Reduce, Reuse and Recycle( 3R’s). Energy users are encouraged to increase reliance on renewable energies such as solar, wind and geothermal to aid in conserving the scarce fossil fuel that remain.

Walking and biking can be used as a strategy to cut down gas guzzling and manage the limited nonrenewable oil resources. One popular way of heating homes is oil heating. However, the conserve the oil, home owners are supposed to put up storm windows and insulate homes including caulking cracks around doors and windows to reduce heating costs. When using natural gas, users can reduce energy wasting by keeping the thermostat at 70 degrees and shutting off heat when not in use.
