Where are volcanoes found?

Let's take a look at two examples to help illustrate this question. First, Mt. Vesuvius is located on the west coast of Italy between the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. Nearby towns include Torre del Greco, Vico Equense, and Casamicciola Terme. Second, Mount Fuji lies in Japan on Honshu Island with a height of 12,388 ft (3,776 meters) near Tokyo. Other nearby cities include Lake Yamanaka and Ohmijima Island National Park.
