The Ring of Fire is a belt of high volcanic and earthquake activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is largely a result of the several subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides under another. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes at subduction zones, which means that many of the world's tsunamis start around the Ring of Fire.

The 'Ring of Fire' is actually the edge of the Pacific Plate. It is called the 'Ring of Fire' because it is a ring lined with lots and lots of volcanoes. If what you mean by belt is a mostly straight line, then no, it is a deformed and distorted ring, with many volcanoes out of line, but shaped like a strange circle. The 'Ring of Fire' is not a belt of fire at all. The fire is supposed to be lava! The fire comes from the volcanoes... as you may know! In shorter words, it is a circle of volcanoes that line the Pacific Plate.
