Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
The Island of Iceland has the most volcanoes (per area) of any place on 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.
Where do volcanoes occur the most?
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
Why do so many of earths volcanoes occur along plate boundries?
Volcanoes occur near plate boudaries because volcanoes need water to erupt.
What sphere do volcanoes occur in?
geosphere

Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes mostly frequently occur?
Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
Why different types of volcanoes occur at different places in the world?
Because pressure and temperature varies in different places of the world.
