Composite cone volcanos are the most common.. Shielding and other types are results from a divergent boundary.
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.

Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries
Convergent boundaries form mountains and volcanoes.

Volcanoes and earthquakes
Convergent boundaries form mountains and volcanoes.
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Most of the volcanoes at convergent boundaries are stratovolcanoes.
Convergent and transform boundaries
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
