If you are talking about the Ring of Fire on Planet Earth, it is because The pacific plate is colliding with all of the surrounding plates and either going under or over them. This results in volcanoes which surround the entire Pacific Plate. We call them the Ring Of Fire
It it also called the ring of fire because of the constant flow of volcanic eruptions in the area. one if the recent ones was in Chile (2010). it is on the border of the ring of fire and got a major earthquake. its called that because of the constant flow of lava and earthquakes in the area

∙ 14y agoThe Pacific Ring of Fire is a roughly horseshoe shaped "ring" encircling the Pacific Basin. It marks the area or ring of greatest seismic activity in the world, and it is where the most earthquakes and volcanic activity occurs. The fiery hot magma beneath the Earth's crust appears to be constantly on the move in the Ring of Fire, and this is where it is closest to the surface and pressure build-ups are most likely to released.

∙ 14y agoThis region of the Pacific is known for its high level of volcanic and seismic activity. It is where the main volcanoes in the world are located. It is a roughly horseshoe-shaped ring which extends around the Pacific Basin, from South America, north along the edge of the American continent, over to far eastern Russia and south through Asia, bypassing Australia but continuing over to New Zealand.

With all those volcanoes, the name "Ring of Fire" seems perfectly appropriate.
