Why do volcanoes erupt a lot in Washington Hawaii and California?

Frequency of volcano eruptions is related to the frequency of tectonic plates under the volcano diverge or converge (move away from each other, or collide with each other).
I suppose that means that in Washigton Hawaii and California there is more tectonic plate activity than other places with volcanos that don't erupt or erupt on lower frequency.

they mostly erupt in Hawaii
Volcanoes and their places?

Countries that have volcanoes that erupt occasionally?
Hawaii and Africa
Does hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?
No they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt more explosive.
Are there any volcanoes you can visit in Hawaii?
yes! as long as they don't erupt
Were do volcanoes most erupt?
the 'ring of fire' that surrounds the pacific plate.
The broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes of Hawaii are?
Most volcanoes in Hawaii are active, meaning that they still erupt. Volcanoes that are not active are referred to as dormant.
Are there volcanoes in California?
yes! but, thay don't erupt
Do oceanic hot-spots tend to erupt more than other volcanoes?
No they do not erupt explosively. It depends on its gas an its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt explosively.
Do oceanic crust hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?
No they do not erupt more explosively. It all depends on the gas and the viscosity. An example is Kilauea in Hawaii because it does not erupt explosively.
Do these hot spot volanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?
no they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and on its viscosity. an example is Kilauea in Hawaii it does not erupt explosively.
What types of land forms do volcanoes create when they erupt?
Mountains or islands. Hawaii is a valcano chain.
