Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.

Are Volcanoes are scattered randomly across earths surface?

No, volcanoes are not scattered randomly across the Earth's surface; they are primarily located along tectonic plate boundaries. Most volcanoes form at convergent or divergent boundaries, where plates either collide or move apart, allowing magma to rise to the surface. Additionally, hotspots, which are areas of volcanic activity independent of plate boundaries, can also create volcanoes, such as those in Hawaii. Overall, their distribution is influenced by geological processes rather than randomness.
