Earthâ??s volcanic regions are found around the tectonic plate boundaries. The tectonic plates with hotspots are the African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, Nazca Plate, North American Plate, Pacific Plate, and South American Plate. There are different theories as to why Earthâ??s volcanic regions are found around these areas. One theory is that the movement of a tectonic plate across a subterranean hot region causes the hotspot; another theory is that mantle plumes rise up through narrow streams to the surface.
What else can I help you with?
Where do volcanoes occur the most?
The most volcanoes occur around the Pacific Ocean, in an area called the Ring of Fire.
Where do volcanoes occur most frequentley?
Volcanic eruptions occur only in certain places and do not occur randomly. ... Volcanoes occur most frequently at plate boundaries
What region of the US has the most active volcanoes?
The region of the US with the most active volcanoes is Alaska, particularly along the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula. This area is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire and is home to over 80% of all active volcanoes in the US.
What is the name of the location where volcanoes and earthquakes occur most frequently?
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur at tectonic plate boundaries called fault lines.The US Geological suvey has quite a nice website entitled "This Dynamic Earth" which will probably answer any more specific questions.http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/dynamic.html
Where on earth do most volcanoes occur?
Most volcanoes are found along the edges of tectonic plates where they interact, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. This is where most of Earth's volcanic activity occurs due to the movement and collisions of these plates.
Along which coastal region do the most earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis occur?

Why volcanoes occur in the Caribbean region?
volcanoes occur in the Caribbean most because of the triad , the triad is 3 plates that all push against each other there are more than 3,0000 triads in the Caribbean. when the all hit each other they send cracks into space which make more volcanoes appear in the caribbean........
Do volcanos also occur where plates meet?
Yes. That is where most volcanoes occur.
Where does most of the worlds earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
There is a region called the Pacific Ring of Fire, which bounds the entire Pacific Ocean with active convergent tectonic plates that has most of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes.It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes.

What are volcanoes and earthquakes likely to occur?
If you mean "where" earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur it is in what's called the "ring of fire" which is the coastal ring around the Pacific Ocean.
