Block size is limited, so you can fit a limited amount of transactions in it. When demand is high, prices go up.

ethereum census is PoW (proof of work) just like bitcoin, meaning in order to validate a block on the chain, they need to be mined. When congestion on the network is high, there is a need for more resources to mine the blocks.
