Tectonic plates are pieces of the earth's crust that move and there can be volvcanic and earthquake activity where tectonic plates meet. Where tectonic plates meet, subduction occurs. This means that one plate slides under the other and returns to the inner level of the earth, the mantle. The Pacific Ocean has the most trenches and the highest level of volcanic activity of all the oceans.

Where do volcanoes occur the most?
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
Which part of the word has the most number of active volcanoes?
The boundary of the Pacific Ocean is known as the ring of fire. Iceland is entirely volcanic.
Where are volcanos found?
Volcanoes are located throughout most of the world. The most active volcanoes are found on the so-called "ring of fire" in Pacific Ocean. Indonesia has several volcanoes including Krakatoa. Hawaii's Kilauea produces the most lava of all active volcanoes in the world. North America has Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier in Washington, USA. Mexico has several including Parícutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna.
What place in the world do volcanoes occur?
Volcanoes mostly occur in areas where tectonic plates meet. Most of the active volcanoes in the world occur in what is called the Ring of Fire around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
The Island of Iceland has the most volcanoes (per area) of any place on Earth.
What is the area of the globe called where most volcanoes are found?
The Ring of Fire, which circles the Pacific ocean, contains over 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes.

What are the most significant volcanoes?
the ring of fire in the Pacific ocean
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
The Island of Iceland has the most volcanoes (per area) of any place on Earth.
The ring of fire surrounds which ocean?
The area encircling the Pacific Ocean is called the "Ring of Fire," because its edges mark a circle of high volcanic and seismic activity (earthquakes). Most of the active volcanoes on Earth are located on this circumference. On the periphery of the Pacific Ocean, the edge of the Pacific Continental Plate is expanding in the seabed, and is hitting the North American Plate, the Nazca Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and other plates, causing the margins of the plates to collide, buckle, and compress, causing earthquakes and volcanoes.
What evidence supports that the Pacific plate of Hawaii moves Northwest is that the most active volcanoes are on what end of the chain?
The most active volcanoes are on the Southeast end of the chain.
Where do Most of the earths volcanoes occur where?
In the "Ring of Fire" on the Pacific Rim (a.k.a. Pacific Ocean)
Where are most active volcanoes?
I'm not sure if this is correct, but near divergent plate boundaries
Where are most active volcanoes found?
the ring of fire which stretches from the tip of south America all the way to Canada, from there to across east Asia and from there it curves to the right of Australia
