The vast majority of earthquakes and volcanoes occur at tectonic plate boundaries. Specifically, transform boundaries (plates slide past each other) have the greatest number and largest magnitude earthquakes (i.e. San Andreas Fault - Pacific plate against North American plate). Convergent boundaries (subduction zones), where one plate dives beneath the other, will produce fairly large numbers of volcanoes because the lower plate melts - the hot magma rises through the crust and erupts, creating a volcano (i.e. Juan de Fuca plate beneath North American plate creates the volcanic Cascades Range). There are also earthquakes at subduction boundaries, but they are less frequent and less powerful. Divergent plate boundaries, where crust moves apart (i.e. the Mid-Atlantic Ridge), have both volcanoes and earthquakes that are very frequent, but also very small - and undetected except by delicate seismometers/seismographs. The exception is in Iceland, where the MAR comes to the surface; the Krafla fissure zone is a very seismically and volcanically active surface expression of a divergent plate boundary.

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.
Volcanoes are relatively common on Earth, with hundreds of active volcanoes and thousands of dormant or extinct ones. However, they are not evenly distributed, as they tend to occur along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. Volcanic activity also varies in intensity, with some volcanoes erupting frequently while others remain dormant for centuries.
there are atleast 100,000 dead volcanoes

False
Natural Resources are distributed evenly among all nations
NO
because the world is gayy !

wider The world is getting wealthier, but the new wealth is not distributed evenly.

No they are not evenly distributed. Some parts of the world are have more oil than others. Other countries have more coal than others. Its just the things turned out geologically for everybody.
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.
It may never be. Only some places in the world have a lot of fresh water. Some countries or continents don't have any fresh water at all. The water in this world will never be evenly distributed.
