【 摘 要 】

Geothermal or earth's heat is a thermal energy dominant countries have been located along the plate boundaries where volcanism or earthquakes are concentrated. One of the world largest geothermal activities has been found in the region of Pacific Ring of Fire/ROF. More than 40% geothermal energy resources are stored in that region. The Ring of Fire that rims the Pacific Ocean and is bounded by Japan, the Philippines, the Aleutian Islands, North America, Central America, and South America etc. United States is still global geothermal energy leader which are located in that volcanic belt, Philippines is second-largest geothermal energy producer in the world, Japan is currently large geothermal power producer in the world, Indonesia that has around 29000 MW of untapped geothermal power. Most of the countries of that region have been stored huge geothermal energy resources. The above explanation of geothermal energy resources of Pacific Ring of Fire which working as a home country of geothermal resources in the world.
