its a convergent plate boundary between either the North American or South American Plate and the Caribbean plate. It's not fully understood which of the two plates is descending underneath the Caribbean plate.
Edited: It is a oceanic-continental convergent boundary. The Atlantic and the Caribbean plates.

Which boundary forms new crust?
Crust is formed at the edge of a tectonic plate by, when a volcano erupts, the lava or magma (same thing) hits the edge of a tectonic plate and cools and dries on the edge of that tectonic plate.

A convergent boundary!
What is a hot spot volcano?

Describe the processes that led to the formation of hte Soufri re Hills volcanoHow have thr inhabitants of Mosterrat been affected by this volcano?
The Soufriere Hills volcano has caused evacuations. It was formed by the sliding of plates.
What is a volkano?
a volcano is formed by tectonic boundaries. when the magma in Earth's interior gets hotter, it rises out of a volcano which is like an opening. the magma goes out of the volcano.
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
