convergent oceanic oceanic
Continental volcanic arcs are the result of a subduction plate boundary. An example of this type of plate boundary can be seen in the Cascade Volcanic Arc which extends from Canada south to Northern California. The volcanoes in this arc are the result of the Juan De Fuca plate (and a couple of other smaller fracture plates) being subducted under the North American plate resulting in the formation of the volcanic arc along the western United States.

Volcanoes on continents can develop at path convergent and divergent boundaries. They can occur where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, producing a volcanic arc such as in the Cascade Range. Volcanoes can also occur in areas of rifting, such as Africa's Great Rift Valley, a developing divergent boundary. Where two oceanic plates converge volcanoes can develop underwater and eventually form volcanic islands. Volcanoes can also develop away from a plate boundary over a hot spot.
At a convergent plate boundary one of the features is mountains. Volcanoes are also typical.
Mount Adatara is associated with a convergent plate boundary, as are all of Japan's volcanoes.
Vesuvius is associated with a convergent boundary between the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate.

The Cascades are associated with a subduction zone, a type of convergent boundary.

The type of boundary associated with Icelandic volcanoes is the constructive plate boundary, where two plates slowly move apart and magma seeps up through the gap.

Plate tectonics, (inter-continental plate collision).
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.
Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary, it and the other Hawaiian volcanoes are the result of a hot spot.
Most volcanoes of any type, including cinder cones, are found at plate boundaries, but some are associated with hot spots.
