When an overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression seems to follow the outline of the continental margin. It is here where explosive volcanoes can be found.
If a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent, active volcanoes would likely be found on the continent's edge or along the tectonic plate boundary. These volcanoes are often associated with subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being pulled beneath another, leading to magma generation and volcanic activity.

Australia is the only continent without any active volcanoes. Though some remnants of old volcanoes can be found in Australia, they are no longer active.
The active volcano Mount Erebus is located on Ross Island, which also home to three inactive volcanoes, on the continent of Antarctica. Mount Erebus is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire which is an area of the Earth that has 160 active volcanoes.
Antarctica does not have any active volcanoes. While it does have the potential for volcanic activity due to its geology, the thick ice cover suppresses any volcanic eruptions, making it the only continent without active volcanoes.
No, there are no active volcanoes in Serbia. Serbia is not located on a tectonic plate boundary where volcanic activity typically occurs.
There are 15 volcanoes located in Colombia.
Approximately 150, with about 60 active ones.
There are no active volcanoes in East Timor. The country is located in a seismically active region, but there are no active volcanic centers within its territory.
