Were do volcanoes appear the most?

Volcanoes appear most frequently along the boundaries of tectonic plates, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where many active volcanoes are found. These regions experience high levels of seismic and volcanic activity due to the movement and interactions of Earth's tectonic plates.
