well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:

Why do volcanoes erupt on islands?
It is not so much that volcanoes tend to occur on islands as much as many islands are formed by volcanoes. Subduction zones and hot spots often cause volcanoes to develop on the sea floor. Erupted material then piles up to form islands.

Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It has erupted hundreds of times in recorded history, with eruptions occurring on average several times per year.
All volcanoes whether active or inactive are dangerous do you think this is true?
With some exceptions, volcanoes are generally not dangerous to people. Your chance of being killed by a volcano is 1 in 80000 over your lifetime, which is far less than your chance of being killed in say a motor vehicle accident (1 in 67). There are also two classifications for inactive volcano's. Volcanoes which have not erupted for a significant amount of time are known as dormant volcanoes. Volcanoes which have not erupted in human history are known as extinct volcanoes. Extinct volcanoes are never expected to erupt again, and are therefore not dangerous unless they have been misclassified. So no, I do not think that all volcanoes whether active or inactive are dangerous. The only dangerous volcanoes are dormant volcanoes that explode suddenly with little or no warning.
How many volcanoes are there on Jupiter's moon Io?
There are over 400 active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io, making it the most geologically active body in the solar system. The volcanic activity is driven by tidal heating caused by gravitational interactions with Jupiter and its neighboring moons.
What cause Mt Shasta to be so high?
because it is a volcano and it nearly erupted because volcanoes that erupt are always shorter than normal
What does dormant how to do with volcanoes?
"Dormant" is used to describe a volcano that is temporarily inactive but could potentially erupt again in the future. It refers to a period of inactivity in the volcano's eruption cycle, which can last for many years or even centuries. During this time, the volcano is not actively erupting, but it is still considered capable of erupting again in the future.
How many times has etna erupt since it was created?
Mount Etna, located in Italy, has erupted approximately 200 times since its formation approximately 500,000 years ago. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
