Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire.

A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
