Italy and Iceland are positioned above fault lines. This means the the areas around the fault lines are prone to volcanic activity, explaining the existence of active volcanoes. The rest of Europe has no active volcanoes as no where else in euroe is an area positioned above a tectonic plate boundary. meaning no volcanism occurs.
