At Fault lines, or places of crustal activity :)

Volcanoes usually form near plate boundaries where subduction is occurring. This causes magma from the mantle to rise up onto Earth's surface and form volcanoes. Most volcanoes are formed in this way. Volcanoes can also be formed by hotspots. Magma from the mantle rises through these hotspots and find their way to Earth's surface, forming volcanoes in a chain like Hawaii.

Well, volcanoes are usually the land that creates islands like Hawaii. I'm doing homework right now and i'd say an island? If not that, i'd go with the first two answers. :)

on hot spots (like Hawaii) or on a subduction boudary. on a subduction boundary an oceanic tectonic plate slides under a continental tectonic plate, or an oceanic goes under another oceanic.
