Is Korea near the Ring of Fire?

Because of its proximity to the “Ring of Fire” and the Circum-Pacific Earthquake Belt, seismicity in Korea is much stronger than in neighbouring Manchuria, but weaker than in Japan.

ctbto.org - PS31, Wonju, Republic of Korea - CTBTO

Wonju is located on the west side of the Republic of Korea and on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, which juts out from the far east of the Asian land mass. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is the only country that shares a land border with the Republic of Korea. The country is mostly surrounded by water and has 2,413 km of coastline along its three seas. To the west is the Yellow Sea, to the south the East China Sea, and to the east the Sea of Japan. At 98,480km², the Republic of Korea is slightly larger than the American state of Indiana. Overall, the Republic of Korea is quite mountainous, a fact that had to be taken into consideration in selecting the site for the International Monitoring System (IMS) primary seismic station PS31. The Korean peninsula’s terrain is characteristically rugged and steep, consisting largely of Precambrian rock, such as granite gneisses and other metamorphic rocks.
