I am pretty sure the occur at around the island arcs of Hawaii or around the Ring of Fire, which is a volcanic belt that rims the Pacific Ocean. Double check this answer just to be on the safe side.
Shield volcanoes do not traditionally occur in the continental United States. The predominant type of volcano is the Strato-Volcano or the Compound Volcano. Shield Volcanoes traditionally occur on the Hawaiian islands based off the nature and source of the melt for the volcanism. The Cascades Volcanic range in the Western United States does have a couple of historical shield volcanoes. These can be identified and geographically located through the CVO website.
they say there are some in hawaii
in Hawaii
shield
well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:
The earth scientist most likely to study volcanoes is a volcanologist
The most obvious difference between the three types of volcanoes are their size. Shield volcanoes are the largest, followed by composite volcanoes, leaving cinder cone volcanoes as the smallest.
Volcanoes come in many types, such as scoria volcanoes (mafic, small, not very explosive),shield volcanoes (large, mafic, mild eruptions of large volumes of lava), composite volcanoes (large, traditional cone shape, most deadly), lava domes (felsic, explosive, usually found with other volcanoes), fissures ( lava erups through fractures, mafic), and canderas (steep-walled depression, very large).
Most are shield volcanoes.

True
shield volcanoes are in many places but the most common are the Hawaiian Islands

No. It was of the most active volcanoes on earth.

Volcanoes are most likely to form at the edges of the tectonic plates.
Hawaii,United states,Russia, Japan,
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.
