The plates that are currently causing Mount rainier to form is the North American plate and the Jaun de Fuca plate.
Mount Hekla is formed by a rift zone in Iceland where the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate are moving apart. This movement creates volcanic activity along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, with Mount Hekla being one of the most active volcanoes in the region.
Mount Rainier formed from volcanic activity during the last ice age, around 500,000 years ago. The mountain is a stratovolcano, built up by successive layers of lava and ash. The most recent major eruptive period occurred approximately 1,000 years ago, shaping the mountain into its current form.
The Pacific Plate is causing Mount Erebus to form. This plate is moving over a stationary hotspot beneath the Earth's crust, creating a chain of volcanoes including Mount Erebus in Antarctica.
Mount Everest, the Mahalangur mountain range in Nepal and Tibet and the rest of the Himalayas were formed during the Cenozoic (from about 65 million years ago to the present) at the start of the collision of India with Asia. This collision movement continues today and Mount Everest is still growing.
Earthquake activity is primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines. When these plates grind against each other, tension builds up until it is released in the form of an earthquake.
Mount Rainier is the volcano that formed the mountain. They are one in the same.

Mount Rainier is formed due to the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate sliding beneath the North American plate in a process called subduction. This subduction leads to the melting of the Earth's mantle, creating magma that eventually rises to the surface and forms the volcano.
Mount Rainier is being formed by the process of subduction, where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is diving beneath the North American plate. As the Juan de Fuca plate descends into the mantle, it melts and generates magma that rises to the surface, leading to the formation of the volcanic cone of Mount Rainier.
Tectonic movement in the ocean or sfs sea-floor spreading, caused it
Mount Rainier has a summit pit but does not have a caldera.
convergent plates
The columbus plates are what caused this volcano to form.
It is four thousand three hundred ninety two metres.
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
