Volcanoes are located throughout most of the world. The most active volcanoes are found on the so-called "ring of fire"in Pacific Ocean. Indonesia has several volcanoes including Krakatoa. Hawaii's Kilauea produces the most lava of all active volcanoes in the world. North America has Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier in Washington, USA. Mexico has several including Parícutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna.

Generally, volcanoes are located near tectonic plates that are converging or diverging.

Most active volcanoes are situated around what is called the 'ring of fire' that makes a horse-shoe shaped curve around the Pacific Ocean. This is also a very active earthquake zone.
