Volcanoes exist along the margins of Techtonic Plates, such as around the rim of the Pacific Ocean (called the ring of fire) along the length of the Andes and rocky mountains, You also get undersea volcanoes along the mid Atlantic ridge and in the mid pacific (where they form the hawaian island chain).
