the reason why volcanoes occur on land than is because more activities occur on land than in water.such activities are farming, digging, stone breaking and all this releases pressure on the land making the internal part of the earth to take this pressure and lather release it back to the earth surface

Where do volcanoes occur on earth?

Volcanoes occur along tectonic borders. More specifically, a border between an oceanic plate, and a land plate. Oceanic plates are more dense than land plates, which causes them to sink beneath land plates. Along these borders, magma can seep up to above the plates, cool, and form a volcano. This is what caused the "Ring of Fire," a ring of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean.

How do active volcanoes located on islands create more land area on these islands?

Active volcanoes on islands create more land area through the deposition of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials. When volcanoes erupt, the flowing lava solidifies and cools, forming new land masses on the island. Over time, repeated eruptions can contribute to the growth and expansion of the island.


When does volcanoes occur more often?

Volcanoes occur at divergent and convergent plate boundaries due to the fact that crust is either being destroyed or created. Volcanoes also occur at hotspots, for example in Hawaii. Hotspots occur where the crust is particularly thin or weak, and plumes of magma rising from the asthenosphere (between upper mantle and the crust) end up giving rise to volcanoes or volcanic islands.
