The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 75% of the world's active and dormant. Another reason why Japan has so many earquakes is because there are so many different tectonic plates (layers of the earth's crust) underneath it and each plate keeps rubbing with the other plates. Earthquakes cause a bit of damage but not a lot in Japan, this is because they have happened lots of times so people in Japan have managed create buildings that probabley won't get destroyed by an earthquake. Japan also has an Earthquake and tsunami warnings which are basically alarms so they knew when an earthquake was happening. most houses in Japan are made out of cheap, light materials so they won't kill people who are inside.
