No. Stromboli is associated with a subduction zone, which is a convergent boundary.
Continental and Oceanic plates.
As an oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a convergent boundary it causes rocks to melt. Some of the newly formed magma will migrate upward to volcanoes, that have formed along the convergent boundaries, and erupt.
Subduction zones form along some tectonic plate boundaries. Of the three general types of tectonic plate boundaries, we will see them form at some (but not all) of what are called convergent plate boundaries.
There are three types of boundaries: 1. Convergent 2. Divergent 3. Transform There are two types of plates: 1. Continental 2. Oceanic Volcanoes only form along convergent and divergent plate boundaries. To be exact, they only form along continental-oceanic convergent boundary, as well as oceanic-oceanic and continental-continental boundaries. At convergent boundaries, volcanoes are formed because of melting crust of the subduction plate (the oceanic plate subducting under the continental plate). They then seep out of the ground as subduction volcanoes. At divergent boundaries, volcanoes are formed because magma rise to the surface to fill the gap where the plates move apart. A third type of volcano that can form is a hotspot volcano. There exists a spot in the ground where magma is continuously rising. However, plates move so as the plates move, the volcanoes move with them. Hence, new volcanoes are formed and this creates a chain of volcanoes, such as Hawaii. Hope this helps!

Fault lines.
Some similarities between convergent and divergent boundaries are that both create faults that are capable of producing earthquakes; both are tectonic plates; and both are part of the lithosphere.
No, some are convergent (against each other), some are divergent (away from each other), and most boundaries are transform (horizontal grinding) at some point.
At convergent boundaries some mantle material can melt and rise through the crust, forming volcanoes.

All of the earth's tectonic plates have the potential to shift and cause an earthquake. However most of the time they only have the potential and some are more likely to shift than others.

A convergent boundary is a deforming region where two tectonic plates or fragments move toward each other and collide. Some examples are; the forming of the Himalayas, New Zealand, and the Aleutian Islands.
