The names of 7 volcanoes include Mount Etna in Sicily, Chacana in Ecuador, Dalaffilla in Ethiopia and Fuego in Guatemala. Others are Glacier Peak in Washington, Halla in South Korea and Mount Shasta in California.
Here is some information on the top 8
Krakatoa - Sunda Strait (Sumatra-Java) - Last known eruption: 1994 . Most famous for the 1883 eruption, probably the most violent volcanic eruption in modern history.
St Helens - Washington state, USA - Last known eruption: 2005
Mount Etna - Sicily, Italy
Santa Ana - El Salvador - Last known eruption: 1904
Pinatubo - Philippines - Luzon - Last known eruption: 1993
Yellowstone, Wyoming, United States - Last Known Eruption: 1050 BC (?)
Soufriere Hills Monserrat Volcano, West Indies - Last known Eruption: 2004
Mount Vesuvius, Italy /Pompeii - Last known eruption: 1944
It depends on the type of hazard. Volcanoes are studied by volcanologists, who are a variety of geologist, while tornadoes are studied by meteorologists (weather scientists). Most natural hazards are of a meterological or geological nature, and so will be studied by meteorolgists or geologists.
Alaska has the most volcanoes of any U.S. state, with over 130 active volcanoes. Hawaii has around 30 active volcanoes, but they are some of the most famous and studied in the world, including Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
Kilauea is one of the most studied volcanoes because of its frequent eruptions, accessibility for research, and the diverse range of volcanic processes it exhibits. Scientists can closely monitor its activity and study various volcanic phenomena to better understand volcanic behavior and improve eruption forecasting and response.
Some of the key volcanoes in Iceland include Katla, Hekla, Eyjafjallajökull, and Grímsvötn. However, Iceland has numerous other volcanoes, including some that are less known or currently inactive.
Where ever there are hotspots
Since most volcanoes are mountains, they usually do have names. Tornadoes do not have names.

One of the volcanoes is called Mt Etna on Sicily. Stromboli in the Aeolian islands and Mt. Vesuvius near Naples are one of the most famous volcanoes in Italy.
The study of volcanoes: volcanology is important because volcanic eruptions can cause immense damage to the surrounding area: when Mount Saint Helens erupted in 1980 65 people died in the ensuing mud slides. Volcanoes are studied by examining the magna (hot molten rock, lava is erupted magma) in the volcano which is located in the crater, most volcanoes don't even have craters. Mostly volcanoes are studied by monitoring their state and trying to correlate changes that can be used a as a predictor for an eruption.
Alaska has the most volcanoes of any U.S. state, with over 130 active volcanoes. Hawaii has around 30 active volcanoes, but they are some of the most famous and studied in the world, including Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
It has the most active volcanoes, having about 452 active volcanoes. It is a question of having the most volcanoes.
There are many; not just two. The most renowed are the Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes, but there are others such as the Pico de Orizaba, Colima volcano, El Chihon and Paricutin volcanoes.
California contains far more than two volcanoes. The two which are probably most recognizable are Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. Other volcanoes include the Medicine Lake Volcano and the Long Valley Caldera.
Kilauea is one of the most studied volcanoes because of its frequent eruptions, accessibility for research, and the diverse range of volcanic processes it exhibits. Scientists can closely monitor its activity and study various volcanic phenomena to better understand volcanic behavior and improve eruption forecasting and response.
Volcanoes are usually in Hawaii.
Most are shield volcanoes.
