How are volcanoes distributed in the map are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones?
Volcanoes are in concentrated zones.
How are the volcanoes distributed on the map Are they scattered evenly or concentrated in zones?
They are concentrated in zones - specifically at or near convergent and divergent tectonic plate boundaries. There are a few exceptions that can occur within tectonic plates which are thought to be caused by mantle plumes which create hot spots. An example would be the Hawaiian Island chain which has formed roughly in the centre of the pacific plate.
Are volcanos scatered evenly or in concentrated zones?
They are concentrated in zones and are scattered unevenly.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
Where are the most explosive volcanoes subduction zones or rift zones?
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.

Are volcanoes scattered randomly or are they in concentrated zones?
Volcanoes tend to form mainly along the edges of tectonic plates, or where the magma is particularly thin or weak.
How many volcanos are there in the Andes?
It is difficult to answer exact number of volcanoes but these are distributed into four volcanic zones Northern, Southern, Central and Austral volcanic zones.

Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
What volcanoes form at spreading zones?
composite volcanoes
