Best Answer

Volcanos form usually from thin spots in the Earth's crust where magma pipes may extend up to the surface. Magma flow may build up from these pipes resulting in the formation of volcanos.

Also, plate tectonics may result in regions of upheval and the formation of mountains and volcanos.
