Listed in the order of the locations that produce more and larger volcanos:

  1. above subduction zones (e.g. cascades mountains, andes mountains, Japan)
  2. on spreading centers (e.g. oceanic ridges), these are usually underwater and not seen
  3. above mantle hotspots (e.g. Hawaii, Iceland, Galapagos, Yellowstone)
