Volcanoes are found along tectonic plates. The volcanoes form when the tectonic plates collide and one of the plates end up moving/get pushed under the other which produces the volcanoes. The hot magma will rise from the mantle at the mid-ocean ridges which push the plates apart. The molten rock then rises up and erupts on the surface which builds up a volcano.

what the volcano eruption is it can also be very destructive and dangerous.

Throughout the years there have been many eruptions around the world. The worst volcano eruption ever was the Mount Tambora explosion that was in Indonesia on the 10th of April in 1815.
