The whole reason the Ring of Fire is called that name is because of the volcanoes.
Volcanoes form when magma under the earth reaches the outer layer of the earth and pushes up the ground to form a volcano. This process happened at TON in the area of the Ring of fire, so that's why we gave it that name.
Or, another theory is that when the plate boundaries of the crust diverge or converge, it can fracture the crust allowing magma to reach the surface. Volcanoes form along diverging plate boundaries like, mid ocean ridges and along converging plate boundaries where subduction takes place.

Officially, it was probably Friar Odoric of Pordenone, very early in the 14th century.
Unofficially, and supported by work done by the U of M in 1998 (and Hopi verbal history), we're not certain. Newer work in archaeology sheds light on the origin of the Clovis culture. The Beringia Theory that previously prevailed has been called into question, being supplanted by theories that ancient people from the region of modern Spain and France. The hypothesis goes that roughly 15-16 thousand years BP (before present), humans from the European continent followed the ice sheet of the late Pleistocene glacial period and the islands of the mid-Atlantic, and established the Clovis culture in the Chesapeake Valley and Delmarva Peninsula. With the climate change of the Younger Dryas period, Clovis moved west and separated into the separate Suwanee-Simpson, Gainey, Folsom, Plainview-Goshen, Redstone, and Cumberland people.
Clovis effectively disappered some 13,000 years ago. New cultures did not rise until roughly 2000 years later. The Hopi are one of the oldest continuous tribes in North America. They have a rich culture and their history has remaind intact, safe from intervention of US encroachment and expansion. Hopi history tells of the arrival of the first Asian and there encoutering "white" people already living here. At first the two groups cooperated and remaind friendly, however, some conflict arose, the newcomers fought with the white tribe and destroyed them, taking their land.
The point of all of this is that there is strong evidence that Clovis was of European origin, it moved west, and some of its descendent culture did reach the Pacific coast.
