The Ring of Fire is also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The yellow line is the location of the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is bascically where the Earth's tectonic plates have spread apart and cracked, allowing warm lava to rise and causing many earthquakes and volcanoes. Also, the plates here often shift and that is why there are often tsunamis. Tsunamis are caused underwater by onshore earthquakes that are very powerful.
The ring of fire is pretty much the Pacific plate that formed volcanoes. So there would be earthquakes all around the ring of fire if two plates (one has to be the pacific plate to relate to the ring of fire, of course) had a boundary that could cause and earthquake.
Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. Earthquakes and volcanoes can result from the collision of tectonic plates. The ring of fire is a region where tectonic plates collide.
The ring of fire is a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific ocean. These signify tectonic activity, making a high likelihood of earthquakes.
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the circum-Pacific seismic belt, also known as the Ring ofFire.
Ring of Fire
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
Tsunamis mostly occur in the Pacific Ocean because they are made because of Earthquakes and lots of earthquakes happen in the ring of fire.

of course...we have volcanoes and we are located at the Pacific Ring of Fire
The Ring of Fire is a circle of volcanoes that rings the Pacific Ocean. The volcanoes are particularly active and earthquakes are a common malady.
Because Japan lies in the Ring of Fire, a belt of volcanoes that ring the Pacific Ocean.
