Volcanoes occur when magma makes it way to the surface. The volcano begins as a lava flow but as it continues to erupt the volcano gets bigger. The volcano eruptions are determined by the pressure and density of the magma chamber.

Earth's volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are converging or diverging.
For example, the Earth's Mid-Atlantic Ridge has volcanoes that are caused by divergent tectonic plates that are pulling apart; whereas the Pacific Ring of Fire has volcanoes that are caused by convergent tectonic plates that are coming together.

What place in the world do volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes mostly occur in areas where tectonic plates meet. Most of the active volcanoes in the world occur in what is called the Ring of Fire around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.
Where do volcanoes occur the most?
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
Why do so many of earths volcanoes occur along plate boundries?
Volcanoes occur near plate boudaries because volcanoes need water to erupt.
What sphere do volcanoes occur in?
geosphere
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
The Island of Iceland has the most volcanoes (per area) of any place on Earth.
What seasons do volcanoes occur?
volcanoes can occur in any season
Does regional metamorphism occur under volcanoes?
Yes they do occur under volcanoes
Do volcanoes occur in oceans and earthquakes occur on land?
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.

Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
Do volcanoes occur randomly over Earth's surface?
Volcanoes do not occur randomly over Earth's surface. They occur along the located mark of plate boundaries.
Where do moderate volcanoes occur?
