∙ 14y agoThe main volcanoes in the world are located around the Pacific Rim, also known as the Ring of Fire. This is a roughly horseshoe-shaped ring which extends from South America, north along the edge of the American continent, over to far eastern Russia and south through Asia, bypassing Australia but continuing over to New Zealand.
