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.

Volcanoes commonly form as a result of which two types of collisions?
Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.
Why volcanoes are commonly found of the edges of earths moving plate?
This is where the weaknesses in the earths crust lie and it is the easiest place for lava to spew out of these weaker areas, therefore forming volcanoes

Sulfur (sometimes spelled as sulphur, although this is not correct by current IUPAC rules) is commonly found near natural hot springs or near volcanoes. It's also found in the combined form in many minerals, such as pyrite and galena.
Are mountains and volcanoes two features found most commonly at plate boundaries?
Yes. Generally that is where the tectonic plates are. Mountain and volcanoes are formed by tectonic plate movement, so yes they are 2 features that are most commonly found at plate boundaries. Fault Block Mountains(:
