Volcanoes are usually found where tectonic plates are diverging (pulling apart) or converging (coming together). A mid-oceanic ridge (Mid-Atlantic Ridge) has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates that are pulling apart. The Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates that are coming together.
Most volcanoes do form near colliding plate boundaries where subduction occurs, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. However, volcanoes can also form in other geologic settings, such as hotspots and rift zones.
Most of the volcanoes at convergent boundaries are stratovolcanoes.
volcanoes are usually the mountains,the plate boundaries colliding depend on where the volcanoes are formed so they are not purposely always formed by mountains.
The boundaries between two colliding plates is called a convergent boundary. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries, a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle.
Plates do not cause volcanoes. Volcanoes generally form at the boundaries between plates. They form at convergent and divergent boundaries.

... Yes that is exactly where they form and the most dangerous volcanoes are formed in this area by wide opening, colliding plates.

High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
subduction happens and mountains and volcanoes form
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
