SHOTLIST: PACIFIC RING OF FIRE (JUNE 25, 2026) 1. MOTION GRAPHICS SHOWING MAJOR EARTHQUAKES ALONG PACIFIC RING OF FIRE OVER LAST 24 HOURS PACIFIC RING OF FIRE - JUNE 25, 2026: The twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela overnight are the latest reminder that Latin America remains one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions. The back-to-back magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 quakes, which hit within a minute of each other, have killed at least 164 people and caused widespread destruction in and around Caracas, renewing attention on a continent shaped by some of the most powerful seismic events ever recorded. Stretching along the Pacific Ring of Fire, Latin America sits atop the boundaries of the Nazca, Cocos, Caribbean and South American tectonic plates, making countries such as Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico and Venezuela especially vulnerable to devastating earthquakes. Over the past century, the region has endured a series of catastrophic tremors that have claimed tens of thousands of lives, triggered destructive tsunamis and transformed disaster preparedness across the Americas.
