A subduction zone is a type of plate boundary where the denser of the two tectonic plates travelling towards each other will 'slide', or subduct, beneath the other.

What is the driving fore behind the pacific ring of fire?

There is no "driving force". The tectonic plates created an oceanic/oceanic subvergent boundary where underwater volcanoes formed. The magma comes up through faults and cracks in the lithosphere from the astenosphere and comes out of the volcanoes. I suppose you could say the "driving force" is the heat from the center of the earth heating the rock to a liquid state.

What plate boundary is the boundary at which plates collide or come together?

The plate boundary at which plates collide or come together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
