Kamchatka Peninsula & Shiveluch Volcano: Inside the Ring of Fire | Geography | UPSC | ClearIAS

Описание: In this lecture, we dive deep into the Kamchatka Peninsula, located in the far eastern part of Russia, and explore the recent eruption of the Shiveluch volcano. This region is known for its seismic activity due to its location within the Pacific Ring of Fire, a hotbed for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. We discuss why the Kamchatka Peninsula is so geologically active, the tectonic plates that contribute to this, and how these natural phenomena shape the landscape. We also explore the strategic importance of the Kuril Islands, the ongoing Russia-Japan dispute, and why this region is of interest to UPSC aspirants. Learn about the critical geographical features, including the Bering Strait and Sea of Okhotsk, and how such map-based questions can appear in the UPSC exam. Join us as we unravel the science behind the "Ring of Fire" and its impact on the region.
