Volcanoes are unpredictable and the amount of volcanic activity each year will vary but some estimates suggest that approximately 700 to 850 people lose their lives each year due to volcanic activity.
Why do the areas along the ring of fire experience many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?

Actually, the answer is 24. Not a big number suprisingly.
On average, there is about 1 volcanic eruption each year in the United States. The most active volcanic region in the U.S. is Alaska, which accounts for the majority of eruptions.
Yes, earthquakes occur far more frequently than volcanic eruptions. On average, millions of earthquakes are recorded each year, with many being minor and not felt by people. In contrast, significant volcanic eruptions are relatively rare, with typically only a few dozen occurring annually. The sheer volume of seismic activity makes earthquakes far more common than volcanic events.
There have been innumerable eruptions and volcanic outbursts. And we have no way of counting the individual eruptions in much of pre history.

No. Volcanic eruptions can build mountains and form new land. Many occur in remote areas where there is not much to destroy.
Volcanoes do not keep us alive. Many thousands of people have died in volcanic eruptions.
