eurasian plate
A convergent boundry is creating the shiveluch volcano in Russia. The Eurasian plate collides with the Pacific plate
Ohio, along with most of North America and parts of Russia and Greenland, lies on the North American Plate.
No. Europe is on the Eurasian continental plate (along with most of Russia, and China), and Africa is on the African continental plate. Some of Russia is on the North American plate, and India is on its own continental plate, which is why it's called the Indian sub-continent - the Himalayas are being thrown up at about 6cm a year at the point where the Indian plate is crashing into the Eurasian plate. In mapping terms, plates do not strictly translate to continents, so all of Russia and Siberia is geographically on the continental land mass of Europe, even though physically half of it is on the North American plate (the land masses are separated by the Bering Strait). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Plates_tect2_en.svg
