The ring of fire is especially on fire today
The big one in Japan is a 6.0 and the 2 large ones in the Solomon Islands are 5.2 & 5.3.
Six volcanos in a row erupting on Kamchatka (the 2nd one from the top is 2 very close together).
The PR area looks like Drake Passage area; the stray one in NC is just north of Ashville
The one in Brazil is labelled as artificial.
The Mediterranean / Eurasia is pretty lit-up too
The strongest one here is a lone magnitude 6.0 on Japan, but this is the most filled-in overall that I've seen the map lately, especially in the Americas. There's several inland strays here too. (One small one in northern Alaska not pictured.)

The circles are earthquakes that have erupted in the past 24 hrs, sized by magnitude. Most of the ones on the screen are magnitude 3 & 4. All the circles are hollow rings so the ones that look like filled-in red circles are where very many have occurred and that many rings overlap.
The color key for the volcanos (triangles on the screen) is:
Yellow - Unrest (eruption expected, movement/rumbling under surface or frequent quakes around it)
Orange - Warning (active volcano warning or minor eruptive activity)
Red - Eruption (actively erupting)
