Mount Pinatubo is on a destructive plate boundary; it is above a subduction zone
Mount Vesuvius is located on a destructive plate boundary. It is situated on the boundary where the African Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction process is what causes volcanic activity in the area.
The Philippine plate slid under the Eurasian plate.
Mount Pelee is located on the destructive plate boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. This boundary is characterized by subduction, where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another, resulting in volcanic activity like what is seen at Mount Pelee.
Mount Pinatubo is located at the convergent boundary of the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.

Mount Pinatubo is located at the convergent boundary of the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.
Mount Tambora is on a destructive plate boundary. This is because the australian plate is subducted underneath the Eurasian plate.
Mount Pinatubo and the surrounding volcanoes of the volcanic arc rise up because of magma occlusion from the subduction plate boundary.

Mount Etna is located on a destructive plate boundary, where the African Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. The melting of the subducted plate generates magma that rises to the surface, leading to volcanic activity at Mount Etna.
Convergent plate boundary, more specifically a subduction zone.
Yes, Mount Pinatubo is located in the Philippines, but it is not on a convergent plate boundary. It is actually located along the boundary of two tectonic plates, the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate, which are moving towards each other at a convergent boundary.
Mount Pinatubo is a stratovolcano
