Its along a divergent plate boundary.
Most of the volcanoes at convergent boundaries are stratovolcanoes.
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide, causing subduction and the melting of rock. Divergent boundaries also have volcanoes, but they are typically less explosive and occur as a result of magma rising to fill the gap created by the moving plates.
Katmai is a divergent volcano, located along the boundary of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. It is part of the Aleutian volcanic arc, where the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate creates volcanic activity. This setting leads to the formation of stratovolcanoes, characteristic of divergent plate boundaries.
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
There are three types of boundaries: 1. Convergent 2. Divergent 3. Transform There are two types of plates: 1. Continental 2. Oceanic Volcanoes only form along convergent and divergent plate boundaries. To be exact, they only form along continental-oceanic convergent boundary, as well as oceanic-oceanic and continental-continental boundaries. At convergent boundaries, volcanoes are formed because of melting crust of the subduction plate (the oceanic plate subducting under the continental plate). They then seep out of the ground as subduction volcanoes. At divergent boundaries, volcanoes are formed because magma rise to the surface to fill the gap where the plates move apart. A third type of volcano that can form is a hotspot volcano. There exists a spot in the ground where magma is continuously rising. However, plates move so as the plates move, the volcanoes move with them. Hence, new volcanoes are formed and this creates a chain of volcanoes, such as Hawaii. Hope this helps!

Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.

A reverse fault is usually associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates are colliding and one is forced upward over the other. It is less common along divergent boundaries, where plates are moving away from each other.
