The thoracic cavity is surrounded by a stiff rib cage while the abdominal cavity has a softer muscular wall Why?
The thoracic cavity contains the heart and lungs, both of which are constantly expanding and contracting.

The abdominal contents, opposingly, are more muscular and less prone to damage, and do not need such excessive protection. Moreover, other areas such as the brain are encased in a cranial cavity of bone, and like the thoracic cavity, the organs enclosed are quite fragile. The abdominal cavity, also, contains the stomach, which may expand, which is impossible when a layer of bone is surrounding it, as is expelling it's wastes into the pelvic cavity.
