no sources on either side

That the Ring of Fire is located where it is due to tectonic plate subduction zones is a foundational and well-established fact of global plate tectonics, making citations unnecessary as common knowledge.

The analysis

The claim states that the Ring of Fire's location is due to tectonic plate subduction zones. This is a fundamental, textbook geological fact and common knowledge within Earth sciences, so no citation or paper evaluation is required.
