Not just near. Mount St. Helens is part of the Ring of Fire.
There are more active volcanoes in the ring of fire because the ring of fire has the most moving plates. When plates move they cause volcanic eruptions. Places farther away or not in the ring of fire will not erupt as often or will only erupt once before extinction.

Areas along the Pacific Ring of Fire are known for being earthquake and volcano prone. This includes regions such as Japan, Indonesia, the west coast of the Americas, and the Philippines. These areas are characterized by tectonic plate boundaries that generate seismic and volcanic activity.
Some countries near the Ring of Fire are Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the Philippines. These countries are located along the Pacific Rim and are prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity due to tectonic plate movements.

It is in the Pacific Ocean. Where the land mass is at. That is the Ring Of Fire.
The Pacific Ring of Fire is in New Zealand, Asia, USA, North America, and South AmericaThe following places are near to the Pacific Ring of Fire1. Chile2. Mexico3. United States4. Canada5. Russia6.

AntarcticaMany more countries are affected by the ring of fire, because if an earthquake happens out at sea it could cause a tsunami and go to the countries not in the ring of fire.
There has been a typhoon near the pacific ring of fire. It occured in 1991.
No. It is thousands of miles from it.
Earthquakes mainly - but you would not want to be too close to an active volcano associated with the Ring of Fire.

No. The Ring of fire consists of the volcanic activity around the Pacific Rim. The African Plate does not come anywhere near that.
Most volcanos are along the "Ring of Fire" -- a zone along the edges of the Pacific Ocean. See link below for a picture of the location of the Ring of Fire
One of them is New Zealand. And another is Japan.
