A convergent plate boundary, otherwise known as a destructive plate margin, forms volcanoes. This happens when
-The subducting plate brings down silicates such as sand down with it.
-Eventually, the plate melts but mixes with the silicates. This forms a more viscose but lighter magma
-This rises because it is lighter until it reaches the moho, (the boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere, (the plate and the stuff it floats own). This is the other plate.
-It then breaks though, slowly rising to the surface.
-It then erupts out of a volcano a few miles in to land.
(This is the continental-oceanic process. The oceanic-oceanic, is slightly different).
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Convergent boundaries form mountains and volcanoes.
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
The convergent mountains usually come in ranges, rather than solitary peaks.

No. Volcanoes do not form at transform boundaries. Volcanic islands can form at convergent boundaries and at hot spots.

at the edge of plate collisions
they both form volcanoes and earthquakes
Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.
It collides with the upper mantle that forms volcanoes with violent eruptions
