No. Kilauea was formed when the Pacific Plate moved over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle. Magma formed a plume upward into the Earth's crust and formed a volcano: Kilauea. 9 +10 = 21

Mount Kilauea is located at a divergent boundary, specifically at the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
