hot spots
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide, causing subduction and the melting of rock. Divergent boundaries also have volcanoes, but they are typically less explosive and occur as a result of magma rising to fill the gap created by the moving plates.
transform and divergent
Volcanoes are found along the Rift Valley due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. As the plates shift and pull apart, magma rises up to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity along the rift. The East African Rift Valley is a classic example of this geologic process, with a chain of volcanoes forming along its length.
Volcanoes found along continental margins are typically stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided appearance due to alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. They are formed where tectonic plates converge and one plate is forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction.
No, Earth's active volcanoes are not scattered randomly. Most active volcanoes are concentrated along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where volcanic activity is caused by the movement and interaction of these plates. These areas include the Pacific Ring of Fire and mid-ocean ridges.
There Are multiple volcanoes along the ring of fire. (along the pacific coast)
most volcanoes are along the ring of fire
No, the San Andreas Fault does not have any volcanoes along its path.
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.

Along the tectonic plate boundaries.
Subduction happens along plate boundaries which pushes up magma which then creates volcanoes.
iceland is a belt of volcanoes/hotspots along the mid ocean ridge, it isn't just mostly volcanoes, it is a volcano itself
