All countries are located on tectonic plates - in fact the world is entirely covered with tectonic plates! Where different plates interact with each other the results can affect the countries locally. Where plates push together you can get volcanoes and earthquakes (an example is Japan.) Where plates pull apart there is usually lots of ocean but you can get some calm volcanism, (an example being Iceland.) Where plates rub past one another there can be earthquakes. An example would be the west coast of the USA and the San Andreas Fault.)

What countries have valcanos?
You are able to find all types of volcanoes on, or near the tectonic plates but all have their own distinct area.
Are all tectonic plates located at earth's core?
No tectonic plates are in or even near the earth's core! The tectonic plates are fragments of the earth's crust. At subduction zones the edge of the subducting tectonic plate descends as much as a few hundred miles down into the earth's mantle before melting and becoming part of the mantle.
Where are earthquakes usailly located?
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
