its a convergent plate boundary between either the North American or South American Plate and the Caribbean plate. It's not fully understood which of the two plates is descending underneath the Caribbean plate.

Edited: It is a oceanic-continental convergent boundary. The Atlantic and the Caribbean plates.

Why does the soufriere hills volcano erupt so explosively?

The Soufriere Hills volcano erupts explosively due to the buildup of gas pressure within the magma chamber. As magma rises to the surface, the rapid release of pressure causes explosive eruptions. Additionally, the presence of viscous magma with high silica content also contributes to explosive eruptions.
