There is a region in the Pacific Ocean called the Ring of Fire, and it is home to many of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes. It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes.

Besides that, many islands and island nations have volcanoes, such as Hawaii and Japan.

Also, 80-90% of all volcanoes occur near tectonic plate boundaries that spread apart.
