Your "tomato butt" is really longitudinal cracking,which is caused by the skin hardening during times of dry soil and then being unable to expand when the soil is wet: in other words, uneven watering.

What do they call it and the reason if the cracking is around the top part of the tomato in a circle?

I have had a lot of cracked tomato's and black spots. We have had so much rain I haven't been able to get into the garden and pick and re-tie out any tomato's that have become loose.
