Mount Rainier, Washington, isn't located on a divergent plate boundary but a convergent one. The Juan de Fuca Plate off the coast is pushing under the northern US and Canada, creating volcanism (such as Mt St Helens).
The plates that are currently causing Mount rainier to form is the North American plate and the Jaun de Fuca plate.
When an oceanic plate converges with a continental plate, the oceanic plate slips under the continental one and into the mantle in a process called subduction. The area will be prone to large earthquakes and tsunamis. A chain of volcanoes will form on the continent.
yes mount rainier is located along a convergent plate boundary.
terranes are attached to the edge of a continent

Mount Merapi is not a plate. However, it was formed by the convergence of a oceanic plate and a continental plate. The oceanic Indo-Australian plate subducted under the continetal Eurasian plate causing a line of volcanoes.

A convergent plate boundary is responsible for creating the volcano Mount Rainier. This volcano is located in Washington, near Seattle.

Anywhere you find volcanic activities but usally is on plate boundaries where you find subduction of one plate into another. Usually Continent-Oceanic convergence. the oceanic sink below the continent because the continental plates are less denser than the oceanic plate. you can also find igneous rocks on oceanic-oceanic plates where the form island arc.
