Where are most of volcanoes found?

Answer 1

Hawaii

Answer 2

Most of the Earth's volcanism occurs along the mid-ocean ridges where new crust is being continually produced, resulting in the movement of continents. Other volcanoes occur where cold dense oceanic crust is being subducted under less dense oceanic or continental crust. The most notable example of this is the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of volcanism following the subduction boundary of the Pacific Plate. The subducted crust melts and rises toward the surface, producing undersea or surface volcanoes. A third location for volcano production occurs at so called 'hot spots' in the Earth's mantle, where rising plumes of magma that originate deep within the mantle burn through the crust, resulting in land based or underwater volcanoes.

There are 2 locations where volcanoes occur:

1. along plate boundaries
2. at mantle hotspots

Most volcanoes are located in the ring of fire surrounding Asia. The Pacific Ring of Fire is an area of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions encircling the basin of the Pacific Ocean. In a 40,000 km horseshoe shape, it is associated with a nearly continuous series of oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and volcanic belts and/or plate movements. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to over 50% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt.
Volcanoes are located throughout most of the world. The most active volcanoes are found on the so-called "ring of fire" in Pacific Ocean. Indonesia has several volcanoes including Krakatoa. Hawaii's Kilauea produces the most lava of all active volcanoes in the world. North America has Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier in Washington, USA. Mexico has several including Parícutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna.

Generally, volcanoes are located near tectonic plates that are converging or diverging.
