Volcanoes usually occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates for example at subduction zones (for example the volcanoes that form along the western edge of the continental United States) or along spreading boundaries, such as those that occur on the ocean bed along the Mid-Ocean-Ridges, though some of the major volcanoes on earth (such as Hawaii and Yellowstone) are caused by "hot zones" where large quantities of Magma are unusually close to the surface.
Volcanoes usually occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates, where the Earth's crust is either spreading apart or colliding. They can also occur in areas known as hotspots, where magma from deep within the Earth rises to the surface.
The two plate crush together and because they are equal the the plate form a mountain and then another plate crush in to another and the heavy plate sinks into the magma and the the magma explodes
Sometimes under the ocean but mostly where techtonic plates collide.

Are volcanoes in jungles?
volcano can occur any where....
Is usually found near a volcano?
Igneous rocks and volcanic minerals are usually found near a volcano.
When is a volcano most likely to erupt?
A volcano is most likely to erupt when the pressure from the magma chamber overcomes the strength of the rock holding it in place. This can occur when there is an increase in magma supply, changes in gas content, or disruptions in the surrounding rock. Monitoring systems can help predict when a volcano is likely to erupt.
What is the name of the top pit of the volcano?
The top pit of a volcano is called the crater. It is the opening at the summit of the volcano where volcanic activity such as eruptions and gas emissions occur.
Where may a carter be formed on a volcano?
A volcano's crater is usually on the top, surrounding the vent.
Can earthquakes occur when a volcano erupts?
Yes. In fact, earthquakes and tremors usually precede the eruption of a volcano and are caused by the volcanic activity and pressure building up beneath the ground.
