Most volcanoes are located along the edges of tectonic plates, known as the Ring of Fire. This area encircles the Pacific Ocean and includes regions such as the west coast of the Americas, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Additionally, some volcanoes can also be found in hot spot locations, such as the Hawaiian Islands.
