Volcanoes form in subduction zones. There, the oceanic crust is subducted, meaning that is slides under the continental crust. When the crust slides below, it melts. Then the melting rock rises up as magma, creating a volcano.
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
They don't. Few, if any volcanoes in the world do. The volcanoes, especially at subduction zones, will often go dormant for years and even centuries without erupting.
Yes. All the Aleutian volcanoes are the result of subduction.
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Moun Cleveland formed as a result of a subduction zone, but is not a subduction zone in and of itself. A subduction zone is a feature that forms volcanoes, not a kind of volcano.
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
In the continental side of the subduction zones and island arks.

On a destructive margin
Yes. All the Aleutian volcanoes are the result of subduction.
Volcanoes in the Ring of Fire are formed due to the subduction of tectonic plates. In this region, the Pacific Plate is being forced beneath other plates, leading to intense geological activity that results in volcanic eruptions. This subduction process creates magma chambers beneath the Earth's crust, which can lead to the formation of volcanoes when the magma rises to the surface.

There is no subduction occurring.

along subduction-related arcs
yes
