Where else are volcanoes formed other than at hot spots?
On fault lines and boarders.
Why do volcanoes occur on the fault lines?
because tectonic plates push together, and they don't have any where to go but up, so a volcano is formed! that is how mountains are formed also.
Are earths active volcanoes scattered randomly?
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
What geological features are formed by tectonic plates?
Volcanoes, faults, plate boundaries, mountains, oceanic trenches, rift zones, young crust, and continental crust.
What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.

What are the volcano prone areas of the world?
There are many areas around the world where volcanoes reside. Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries (see "what are tectonic plates?") because this is where lava from the mantle is forced upward, to the surface. Volcanoes formed in the middle of plates are formed from "hot spots", regions where hot rock and magma are forced to the surface from deep in the mantle in tube-like formations. As plates slide across these hot spots, lines of volcanoes are formed.

What is formed by perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines formed right angles.

The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
How do you know what the vertex of an angle is?
An angle is formed when two lines meet (or cross). The vertex is the point where the lines meet.An angle is formed when two lines meet (or cross).

Where are do other volcanoes erupt if it doesn't on fault lines?
America
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes commonly occur?
Along fault lines
What is all the volcanoes under the equator?
No most volcanoes are along fault lines between tectonic plates. The equator has no relevence.
