tsunamis such as the one that hit Thailand are prone to these areas because these countries lie on plate boundries. Converging and diverging plates cause earthquakes along the plates. When an earthquake happens it's just a normal earthquake (ground shaking..etc) but when an earthquake happens in the ocean it breaks the sea bed(floor) this makes water diverge away from where the earthquake hit. This causes large waves that get higher and faster as they get close to land. Countries in the ring of fire are prone to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. Hope i helped :)
