Answer: (Short answer) tectonic plates

Explanation: (long answer) The abundance of volcanoes and earthquakes along the Ring of Fire is caused by the amount of friction of tectonic plates in the area. Along much of the Ring of Fire, plates overlap at convergent boundaries called subduction zones. ... As rock is subducted, it melts and becomes magma.
