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.
Why do the areas along the ring of fire experience many volcanic eruptions and 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.
The ring of fire has volcanoes and earthquakes.
The short answer for this is that many times volcanoes form along earth quake fault lines. This is not always the case though as they can form in the middle of earth's plates also. (earth quake fault lines are usually found on plate boundaries, where two plates meet)

EARTHQUAKES
Nothing causes the ring of fire it is just a nick name for the area because volcano's and earthquakes have magma and lava involved.
