As an oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a convergent boundary it causes rocks to melt. Some of the newly formed magma will migrate upward to volcanoes, that have formed along the convergent boundaries, and erupt.
It is on a convergent plate boundry forming a subduction zone which build pressure in the volcano causing them to erupt.
The Falcon Volcano on the Tonga Islands are in the Indo-Australian Plate- a convergent boundary.

The most likely cause of a volcano is a convergent plate boundary, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another in the process of subduction. This movement melts rock and generates magma, which can rise to the surface and erupt as a volcano.
Paricutin is located on a convergent boundary. The volcano formed as a result of the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate in Mexico.

Because it won't erupt if it's not on land because the eruption is made by holes in the earth crust and to plates going into each other

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.
They can be associated with both, but are most often found near convergent boundaries.
