Mount Vesuvius is located above a subduction zone formed where the African plate descends beneath Italy.
Mount Vesuvius is the result of a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate slides under another. In this case the portion of the African Plate that is under the Mediterranean is sliding under the Eurasian Plate. This generates magma tha allows volcanoes to form.
The type of plate boundary the Vesuvius is located on it a subduction zone in latitude 40.9n and 14e. It lies on the convergant boundry of the African and Euasian plates.
An oceanic plate went underneath a continental plate and so the volcano was formed
The last time Mount Vesuvius erupted was 1944. It's best known eruption was in AD 79, at which time it destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii. There were warnings in the form of earthquakes, but the people nearby didn't recognize that they were in fact warning signs of an impending eruption.

The plates that are currently causing Mount rainier to form is the North American plate and the Jaun de Fuca plate.
