Its called the Ring of Fire because of all the volcanic activity which occurs there. The cause of all that volcanic activity is because there techtonic plates meet. Where techtonic plates meet there is geological activity. This activity includes both volcanic activity and earthquake activity as the plates move against each other.

Look at the tectonic plates, little grasshopper! You will find the answer you seek!
