PYQ Analysis:
- The Circum-Pacific Belt (Ring of Fire) is the most-tested sub-topic — appeared directly in 2021
- RPSC likes distribution questions for this topic (where are earthquakes/volcanoes concentrated?)
- 2026 prediction: 5-mark on tsunami or Richter scale; 10-mark on comparing Ring of Fire vs Alpide Belt, or comprehensive discussion of volcanic types and their distribution
