Volcanoes are not distributed randomly; they typically occur in patterns that correlate with tectonic plate boundaries and hotspots. Most volcanoes are found along convergent and divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic activity allows magma to rise to the surface. Additionally, hotspots, like those forming the Hawaiian Islands, can also create volcanic activity away from plate boundaries. This organized distribution is a result of geological processes related to the Earth's tectonic system.
Volcanoes are not randomly distributed but are located along tectonic plate boundaries. Most volcanoes are found along the Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped region surrounding the Pacific Ocean where several tectonic plates meet. Other volcanoes can be found at hotspots, such as the Hawaiian Islands, where magma from the mantle creates volcanic activity.
Random Pattern.
Volcanoes are in concentrated zones.
An example of random dispersion would be the distribution of seeds dispersed by the wind in a forest. The seeds are scattered randomly based on wind direction and speed, resulting in a random pattern of distribution across the forest floor.
Volcanoes are concentrated in specific zones called volcanic belts or arcs, which are often associated with tectonic plate boundaries. These zones include the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and rift zones such as the East African Rift. Volcanoes are not evenly distributed across the globe.

Random Pattern.
Major crustal features are not randomly distributed on Earth's surface. They are typically found along tectonic plate boundaries where the movement of the plates interacts to create geological features like earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and trenches. These features are a result of the dynamic processes associated with plate tectonics.

Volcanoes do not occur randomly over Earth's surface. They occur along the located mark of plate boundaries.
Volcanoes are distributed in concentrated zones.
Volcanoes are in concentrated zones.
Volcanoes are formed by tetonic plates pushing together. Therefore they often form in lines. Such as the Himalyers and the alpes.
