Yes, but they are not commonly found there, as it depends on the region. An example of a volcano that is found in a desert, however, would be the volcano Emi Koussi, found in the Sahara desert.

Yes, there are numerous areas in deserts that contain old lava flows, some of them quite recent. I know of lava flows in the Chihuahuan Desert and the Atacama Desert. I am sure there are others.

Yes, there are volcanoes in the desert, many are either dormant or extinct. The Atacama Desert of northern Chile has a number of active or dormant volcanoes. The desert southwest of the United States has many extinct and dormant volcanos

Yes, there are volcanoes in most desert areas of the world. Most are extinct, some are dormant and a few are active. I live in the Chihuahuan Desert and just a short drive from my home (30 minutes) there is an ancient volcanic field with hundreds of extinct volcanoes.
