They occur at plate boundaries (Pacific rim "Ring of Fire") or at mantle hot spots (Hawaii, Iceland).

How have volcanoes formed if they aren't on the ring of fire?

Firstly, the ring of fire isn't the only place volcanos can erupt, it just happens to be a particularly common place. The majority of volcanos can be found between the plates that make up the earths surface. These places are 'weak spots' are ripe for volcanos to occur. The 'ring of fire' is essentially the boundry of one such plate. However it is possible also for volcanos to form anywhere that the forces can break through the earths surface, just rarer.
