Most volcanoes were being the result of magma flowing out of the surface of the earth and hardening, usually near a subduction zone.

As two tectonic plates collide, one of them is forced under the other, and the seabed rock melts to form new, low-density magma.

Hotspot volcanoes form by a different mechanism.
