Where are the volcanoes located?

Answer 1

Volcanoes are located throughout most of the world. Volcanoes are generally located near tectonic plates that are converging or diverging. 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 Par�­cutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna. "Ring of Fire" volcanoes are also located in Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Ethiopia, Tonga Islands, Iceland, Alaska-USA, Hawaii-USA, Washington-USA, Congo, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Indonesia, Japan, and, Chile.

Answer 2

Volcanoes are located in many places on Earth. Many of them are found around the Ring of Fire which follows the rim of the Pacific Ocean in a huge subduction zone created by plate subduction. Rift volcanoes are at the heart of the mid-oceanic rifts, divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is created. Volcanoes occur also at 'hot spots', such as the Hawaiian Island Chain, where hot material melts through the crust in intraplate volcanism.
