Because they are on plate boundaries
Active volcanoes are mostly found on islands such as Japan ,andaman and nicobar etc.
japan,indonessia
there are estimated 80 active volcanoes iin Japan. trust me babes
Mt. Fuji is still considered active along with 108 other active volcanoes found in Japan. Japan is basically a volcano if you walk in Japan anywhere, you're on top of a volcanic mass....lol.
The majority of volcanoes in the Pacific Rim are found along the "Ring of Fire," a horseshoe-shaped zone that encircles the Pacific Ocean. This area is characterized by high seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement of tectonic plates. Countries such as Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the west coasts of North and South America are notable for their numerous active volcanoes within this region. The Ring of Fire is home to about 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes.
Most active volcanoes are found in different places like Hawaii , Washington, Ireland or even japan. Most extinct volcanoes are found in Eurasia but different parts .
Seventy-five percent of the world's active and dormant volcanoes are located in the Ring of Fire, an area in the Pacific Ocean basin where several tectonic plates meet. This region stretches from the western coast of the Americas to the eastern coast of Asia, including countries like Japan, Indonesia, and Chile.
I'm not sure if this is correct, but near divergent plate boundaries
Yes, there are 30 active volcanoes in Iceland.
4 active volcanoes on earth include Kilauea on the big island of Hawaii, Anak Krakatau between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, Mount Nyiragongo in the Deomcratic Republic of the Congo, and Mount Pinatubo on the Island of Luzon in the Philippines.
Volcanoes occur in areas where tectonic plates meet, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which includes countries like Indonesia, Japan, and the west coast of the Americas. They can also be found along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is being formed.
Volcanoes are located throughout most of the world. Volcanoes are generally located near tectonic plates that are converging or diverging. 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 Par�­cutin and Nevado de Toluca. Europe has Mt. Etna. "Ring of Fire" volcanoes are also located in Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Ethiopia, Tonga Islands, Iceland, Alaska-USA, Hawaii-USA, Washington-USA, Congo, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Indonesia, Japan, and, Chile.
