Why are volcanoes prevalent in certain parts of earth?
Volcanoes occur along the plates of the Earth. Volcanoes can remain dormant, active, or in inactive states. Active volcanoes occur in particular regions of the world due to the movement of the plates in the Earth.
What is the most common place a volcano might erupt?
There is a region in the Pacific Ocean called the Ring of Fire, and it is home to many of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes. It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes. Besides that, many islands and island nations have volcanoes, such as Hawaii and Japan. Also, 80-90% of all volcanoes occur near tectonic plate boundaries that spread apart.
Are volcanoes always located near Mountain ranges?
Yes. The majority of volcanoes are found near plate boundaries.
Volcanoes and their places?
Hawaii has lots of volcano eruptions, volcanoes can also erupt on tropical islands.
What places where tectonic plates separate is called?
Fault lines or plate boundaries.
What volcanoes of Hawaii and other places far from tectonic plate boundaries are known as?
They are known as hot spots.
Do volcanoes happen in the same place?
No, volcanoes don't occur in the same place because there was a volcano in Hawaii and maybe somewhere in Asia.

When are Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
They are more likely to occur on places/countries that are on Tectonic plate boundaries. This is because a tectonic plate boundary is when earth is raised above the normal level causing the ground to shake. When the earth rises it can form small volcanoes that get bigger and it will erupt a lot after then. :D

What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
Plate Boundaries.

Places where a large number of faults are located?
Tectonic Plate boundaries
Places where large number of faults are located?
Tectonic Plate boundaries
Do volcanoes happen at random or in a specific places?
Volcanoes happen in specific places. They can occur in three geologic settings:Divergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates pull apart.Subduction zones, where an oceanic plate slides into the mantleHot spots, where extra hot mantle material rises to the bottom of the crust.
What places where tectonic plates separate is called?
Fault lines or plate boundaries.
