Volcanoes are usually found at continental plate boundaries (where two continental plates meet). The most common place on Earth for volcanoes is the 'Pacific Ring of Fire'. If you look at a map, the Pacific Ring of Fire is around the whole of the Pacific Ocean and is in contact with numerous countries in Asia, Oceania and also Africa. Earthquakes are also common in these areas.

Volcanoes are located near the ring of fire or along the ring of fire. Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, are all volcanoes that are near the ring of fire and are located in the Hawaiin islands.
