#2 It's long been speculated that there is a "reflective" earthquake pattern around the ring of fire. That is, when a major earthquake happens on one side of the ring, after a several days delay, another earthquake is triggered on the other side of the ring.

Importantly, it doesn't seem to be a "fair", or "opposite" reflection, but this is created by the illusion of the curvature of the Earth. This makes more sense if you see the "Africa in Perspective" map, showing other major land bodies overlaying it:

Looked at that way, the ring of fire looks much less like a ring, and the reflection of earthquakes seems to be much more "opposite" from the original earthquake.

Another factor is that the ring of fire isn't a boundary to the earthquake wave front, so by adding extra time, there is an increased risk of earthquakes in zones outside of the ring.
