Currently, there are 28 active volcanoes on the territory of the Kamchatka Peninsula. What explains the presence of a large number of volcanoes in Kamchatka?

Because this peninsula is located exactly at the junction of lithospheric plates, there are many volcanoes here. For example, in the north of this peninsula there is a volcano called snow. This is a stratovolcano. Its absolute height is two thousand two hundred meters. In the central part of this peninsula there is a volcano called Bely. This is precisely a basaltic shield-like volcano. Its absolute height is almost two thousand one hundred meters.
