Mount Rainier is located on the North American continent, specifically in the state of Washington in the United States. It is not a part of any tectonic plate but rather sits on the North American Plate.
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide, resulting in the formation of volcanic island arcs. Oceanic-continental convergence happens when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, creating volcanic mountain ranges. Continental-continental convergence involves the collision of two continental plates, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges.
Mount Tarawera is situated on the Pacific Plate, which is an oceanic tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean.
Mount Rainier, Washington, isn't located on a divergent plate boundary but a convergent one. The Juan de Fuca Plate off the coast is pushing under the northern US and Canada, creating volcanism (such as Mt St Helens).
Mount Rainier is located in the Cascade Range, which is a volcanic mountain range formed along the convergent boundary between the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate. This tectonic setting is responsible for the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of mountains like Mount Rainier.
Mount Rainier is one of an enormous ring of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire, which roughly encircles the Pacific Ocean in a horseshoe shape. More specifically, it is a member of the Cascade volcanic mountain range. The Cascade volcanoes are a chain of volcanoes running from Northern California in the United States of America to southern British Columbia, Canada fed by the subduction of the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate (which borders, but is distinct from the Pacific Plate by means of an oceanic ridge off the Pacific Coast) under the North American plate a few hundred miles to the west of the volcanoes.
yes mount rainier is located along a convergent plate boundary.
terranes are attached to the edge of a continent

Mount Merapi is not a plate. However, it was formed by the convergence of a oceanic plate and a continental plate. The oceanic Indo-Australian plate subducted under the continetal Eurasian plate causing a line of volcanoes.
Mount Tarawera is situated on the Pacific Plate, which is an oceanic tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean.

A convergent plate boundary is responsible for creating the volcano Mount Rainier. This volcano is located in Washington, near Seattle.

The Pacific Plate does not carry a continent.
The plates that are currently causing Mount rainier to form is the North American plate and the Jaun de Fuca plate.
Mount Rainier is located in the Cascade Range, which is a volcanic mountain range formed along the convergent boundary between the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate. This tectonic setting is responsible for the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate, leading to volcanic activity and the formation of mountains like Mount Rainier.
i think its located at where the Juan de Fuca and North American plate touch
