The "ring of fire" comprises the seaboard costs of the countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The zone is where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust and the location of many volcanoes and continual earthquake activity.
It is impossible to give you a count of the number of earthquakes that happen in the zone, earthquake activity is continuous.

Which place on earth has the most earthquakes?
Many occur along the Ring of Fire (where many volcanoes are located; volcanic activity and seismic activity are both caused by fluctuations in the Earth's crust due to unrest in the mesosphere), as well as along faults on the western coast of the United States. Earthquakes occur there daily. As a matter of fact, Earthquakes occur constantly along any plate boundary or fault, but the two places I just mentioned suffer from more severe earthquakes that occur more frequently.
