Volcanoes exist on every continent on Earth, and even under the ocean. They also exist on other planets, such as Olympus Mons on Mars.
Volcanoes tend to exist along the fault lines of tectonic plates, where the Earth's magma core more easily penetrates the Earth's crust.
No, they are not limited to earth or ever our solar system. For example Io, one of the moons of Jupiter, is known to have volcanoes. They are merely dependent on if the planet has a molten core.
Volcanoes occur wherever magma reaches the surface of the earth - that can be anywhere, but you find more volcanoes along plate boundaries because that's where the magma gets pushed up more often. Hawaii is an example of a volcano that is not on a plate boundary.
no. there are also active volcanoes in venus.
yes they can be volcanoes anywhere in the world
No, they can form underwater as well. There are plenty of islands that started out as submerged volcanoes.
No. Volcanoes are driven by forces deep inside the Earth where conditions are unaffected by climate.
also at hot spots
another it mainly occurs at plate boundaries
Yes they only happen on ocean floors making new islands like the Hawaiian Islands. :)
Volcanoes tend to form at convergent subduction boundaries and divergent plate boundaries. One good example would be the broad ring of volcanoes that have formed around the boundary of the Pacific plate. This is why this region is known as the ring of fire. There is also a very long chain of undersea volcanoes that occur at the mid ocean ridges. In some places these have formed islands such as Iceland. Where subduction occurs (along the west coast of South America, and the west coast of the USA for example) volcanoes form, e.g. Subduction zones also form volcanic island arcs such as the Aleutian island chain in Alaska.
Subduction is when one of the plates is forced down beneath the other plate at the convergent boundary.
first its not a question so if volcanoes formed from magma it will be a igneous rock.search me up on roblox.com my account name is xxbrandon3
The "Ring of Fire" is where the Pacific Plate meets other plates that form the Earth's crust. Each of the Earth's plates is moving (very slowly). In geologic time, the movements of two plates at their intersection causes both volcanoes and earthquakes.
Many are but many others are not. Most volcanoes on land occur where two plates press into each other and one slide slides under the other. Some volcanoes occur at hot spots, which are not related to plate boundaries.

No. Mount Rainier, like the other cascade volcanoes, is associated with a subduction zone.
No. Mount Unzen, like the other volcanoes in Japan, was formed by a subduction zone.

There are two main tectonic settings in which volcanoes occur: at divergent boundaries, where two plates pull apart, and at subduction zones, where two plates collide and one plunges into the mantle. Subduction can only occur if one or both of the colliding plates consist of oceanic crust. In Pakistan two types of plate boundary. The first is a transform boundary, as the plates grind against each other without moving together or apart. The second, in northern Pakistan, is where India is colliding with the rest of Asia. The stress generated along these boundaries is enough to cause earthquakes, but there is no mechanism for creating volcanoes.
At constructive plate margins (where two plate slide away from each other) or a destructive plate boundary (where two plates slide together), volcanoes do not occur at a conservative plate margin. Hope this helps
Japan is an arc caused by subduction of the Pacific and Phillipine plates beneath the Eurasian plate. The subduction plates lose water to the mantle rocks as they go down, which causes the mantle rock to melt. This is the magma that forms the volcanoes. The earthquakes are caused by the plates scraping against each other- a subduction zone is basically a reverse fault.

Plates that move toasted each other are detractive plates meeting at a destructive margin. If a continental and an oceanic plate move towards each other, earthquakes and volcanoes occur, this is called a subduction margin, but if the plates are both continental then fold mountains form this is a collision margin
As there is no subduction, the magma is not disturbed and the two plates simply slide past each other, crust is neither created, nor destroyed
