As a whole, most of the world's non-stop volcanism is occurring along the mid-ocean rifts, where new oceanic crust is being created.

Most of the active volcanoes on the continents are located along areas of plate collision and subduction, most notably the so-called 'Ring of Fire', an area of earthquakes and volcanism around the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean.
