Volcanoes normally form at or near divergent tectonic plate boundaries or convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring.

An example of a divergent plate boundary with significant volcanism is the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge. This is most obvious in Iceland.

An example of a convergent boundary would be the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate to form the Andes mountain range and the volcanoes in this area.
