Cities located near convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates collide, are particularly vulnerable to volcanic activity. One notable example is Quito, the capital of Ecuador, which sits near the Andes mountain range formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. This proximity to active volcanoes makes Quito susceptible to eruptions, ashfall, and related hazards. Other cities in similar geological settings, like Manila in the Philippines, also face significant volcanic risks.
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).

The Falcon Volcano on the Tonga Islands are in the Indo-Australian Plate- a convergent boundary.
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.
No. Sakurajima is a volcano associated with a convergent plate boundary.

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.
