Volcanoes typically occur in five main locations: at tectonic plate boundaries, particularly along divergent boundaries like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and convergent boundaries such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. They can also form over hot spots, where magma rises from deep within the Earth, like the Hawaiian Islands. Additionally, volcanoes can be found along rift zones, where tectonic plates are pulling apart. Lastly, they may occur in intraplate regions, away from plate boundaries, due to mantle plumes.

Why are volcanoes prevalent in certain parts of earth?
Volcanoes occur along the plates of the Earth. Volcanoes can remain dormant, active, or in inactive states. Active volcanoes occur in particular regions of the world due to the movement of the plates in the Earth.

Do Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones.?
No, hotspot volcanoes do not occur along subduction zones. They occur when plates pass over mantle hot spots.
