╰┈➤ Places that is in the belt or also known as the “Ring of Fire” that encircles the Pacific Ocean. 

╰┈➤ Venezuela. This is because the Earth's crust is broken into a series of slabs known as tectonic plates. Some volcanoes, like those that form the Hawaiian Islands, occur in the interior of plates at areas called “hot spots.”

╰┈➤ Indonesia is the country that contains the most active volcanoes of all countries in the world. The Eurasian Plate, Pacific Plate and Indo-Australian Plate are three active tectonic plates that cause the subduction zones that form these volcanoes.
