Where do most volcanoes appear on the earth surfaces?
Where ever there are hotspots
Does Mediterranean climate have volcanoes?
Climates do not affect where volcanoes appear. However, there are Mediterranean volcanoes, in fact, the most active volcanoes in Europe are situated in the Mediterranean.
Where do volcanoes that are far from the margins of the tectonic plates appear?
These volcanoes are believed to be above local 'hot spots' on the surface. Hawaii would be the prime example. Most volcanoes occur above the subduction zones at a merging plate boundary. But volcanoes also appear directly at the expanding junction of a pair of plates. Iceland, and some of the South Atlantic islands are examples of this.
Do volcanoes erupt in warm countries only?
No. Where volcanoes appear is not affected by climate. There are volcanoes in places such as Iceland, Alaska, and Antarctica.
What percentage of volcanoes appear on continental crust?
76%

Which two geological processes appear to have been most important in shaping the present surface of Venus?
volcanoes and tectonics

Are there volcanoes on Antarctica?
yes one of the most popular volcano on Antarctic is mount Erebus
Where do volcanos happen?
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
Can volcanoes appear anywhere on earth?
Not just anywhere. Most volcanoes are located at plate boundaries. The rest are located at locations called hot spots.

How does Mars have volcanoes and ice on it?
In the same way that the Earth has volcanoes and ice. However, Martian volcanoes do not appear to be active.
