The entire area is located on the Ring of Fire
Taiwan is prone to earthquakes because the island is located near the junction of two tectonic plates. Apart from Taiwan, there is always a risk of earthquakes in Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Vanuatu, and other Pacific islands. The region is located close to the Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines around the ocean.
