Most volcanoes are found around the edges of the tecktonical plates covering the earth
Where these plates move apart, we might have volcanoes.
Where they move together we get mountains.
Certain places below the earths crust, unknown why, there are so called "Hot Spots", extreme temperature within, of which melts a hole in the plate and creates a volcano.
If not mistaken, Hawaii is created due to a hot spot.
Volcanoes are all over the world, even under the sea.

Do all volcanoes erupt lava?
Lava emissions are found with all active volcanoes, although some volcano emit more lave than others.
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Are volcanoes found everywhere on earth?
Volcanoes are found nearly everywhere on Earth. There are even volcanoes located in the United States. There are a handful of countries without them.

Do volcanoes on land occur on the edges of land or on islands?
They can occur on either. There are volcanic islands such as Hawaii and the Galapagos, but there are some found on Continents such as Mt Saint Helens. Some volcanoes can be found in the interiors of continents such as in the Great Rift Valley in Africa and one located in Yellowstone.
