      Every day there are about twenty volcanoes erupting somewhere in the world. Most can be found around the edges of the Pacific Ocean, where there is active subduction of tectonic plates, in places like Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Russia or Indonesia. There are also active volcanoes along the East African Rift Valley in countries like Tanzania.
