seem
Sometimes, simply rearranging the words can tell you which is the subject to pay attention to. In this case, I would rearrange “seem / seems to be volcanoes everywhere” to “volcanoes seem / seems to be everywhere”. This tells you that “volcanoes (plural)” is the subject. When the subject is identified, it becomes a lot clearer to see which one to use.
