As a whole, most of the world's non-stop volcanism is occurring along the mid-ocean rifts, where new oceanic crust is being created.
Most of the active volcanoes on the continents are located along areas of plate collision and subduction, most notably the so-called 'Ring of Fire', an area of earthquakes and volcanism around the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean.

∙ 13y agoVolcanoes 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 ParÃcutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna.
Generally, volcanoes are located near tectonic plates that are converging or diverging.

What do you call the area where 75 percent of the worlds volcanoes are located?
the ring of fire thatts where oh and guess what me awesome
What percentage of the world's volcanoes are on the ring of fire?
Number of Volcanoes in the Ring of Fire500 volcanoes comprise the Ring of Fire, a group of volcanoes that form more of a horseshoe than a ring along the coasts on both sides of the Pacific Ocean and extends to islands east of Australia. 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are part of the Ring of Fire.

Where are the worlds volcanoes located why is this?
They are located around the "ring of fire" and or the Pacific plate, this is because it it the largest and lightest piece of tech tonic plate and all the other plates grind against it making multiple volcanoes and earthquakes around it, hens forth "the ring of fire".
