N America, S America and Asia. Pacific and Indian ocean, I think

Most Volcanoes form in tectonic subduction zones - where one tectonic plate slides over the other. Volcanoes also form over "hot spots" in the earth's crust that may not be directly over a subduction zone. I believe Hawaii is a good example of a volcano hot spot.

Asia, N America and S America. Pacific/Indian.


Volcanoes are most active in the "ring of fire" around the Pacific.
