Volcanoes form above plumes or "hot spots."

The plate moves over this location, making a chain of volcanoes like Hawaii.

Volcanoes also form around subduction zones.

One plate moves under another, causing the the edges of the plate to melt making volcanoes, islands, and mountains.

Volcanoes can also lie over magma chambers that have lava that leaked from the lithosphere into the crust.
