Earthâ??s volcanic regions are found around the tectonic plate boundaries. The tectonic plates with hotspots are the African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, Nazca Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, and South American Plate. There are different theories as to why Earthâ??s volcanic regions are found around these areas. One theory is that the movement of a tectonic plate across a subterranean hot region causes the hotspot; another theory is that mantle plumes rise up through narrow streams to the surface.

∙ 12y agoThey are located at the inner core of the earth. The earth is comprised of three layers and the inner core is the last at the centre of the earth crust which contains high temperatures due to compression of high molten magma. The magma turns out to volcano when it emerges out to the earth via cracks. the bigger the cracks on the earth crust the more the volcanic flow hence higher mountains after the cooling of the volcanic magma.

Answer 2:
Most of the Earth's volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ring of Fire which is the edges of virtually all land masses (Except Australia) bordering on the Pacific Ocean.

Why volcanoes occur in the Caribbean region?
volcanoes occur in the Caribbean most because of the triad , the triad is 3 plates that all push against each other there are more than 3,0000 triads in the Caribbean. when the all hit each other they send cracks into space which make more volcanoes appear in the caribbean........
