the ring of fire
Most of the world's volcanoes are located along the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean basin, stretching from the west coast of the Americas to Asia. This area is seismically active due to the movement of tectonic plates, resulting in many volcanic eruptions.
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.

there are volcanos everywhere, but some you cant see
Cinder cones are usually found on the sides of shield volcanoes, calderas, and stratovolcanoes. Many cinder cones can be found in Hawaii on the volcano of Mauna Kea. The most active cinder cone is found in Nicaragua. It is named Cerro Negro, and according to geologists and scientist has erupted around 20 times since 1850.

The Australian mainland doesn't have any active volcanoes at this time because it doesn't lie over any plate boundaries. Also, it isn't over any hot spot in the mantle at the present time. It has had volcanic activity in the past.
They are mostly active at dusk but may lie in a sunny spot during the day.

some volcanoes are more active than others because some volcanoes lie on plate boundaries that move frequently which adds more pressure to the magma chamber where all of the lava is stored. Other volcanoes are formed but do not gain much pressure because they have been formed slowly or have errupted many times before and do not gain any more pressure. Some volcanoes are temperarily dormant which means they are not active. Some volcanoes have been dormant for hundreds of years because there is not enough pressure for the volcano to errupt. Hot countries may have an affect or volcanoes that started off very close to the epi-center of the earth, that has lava flowing up to the volcanoes frequently from there, which may set them off more. I hope this has answered your question.
