The nearest plate boundary can vary depending on your specific location. For example, if you are in the western United States, the nearest boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates. If you're in the eastern U.S., the nearest major boundary would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, an underwater divergent boundary. To determine the precise nearest plate boundary, a specific location is needed.
Me, personally? I live near Sacramento, California, USA, and the nearest plate boundary is about 100 miles to the west, the boundary between the North American plate and the Pacific.
The plate boundary at which plates collide or come together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is typically forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This collision can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
Niether. Kilauea is in the middle of the Pacific plate, thousands of miles from the nearest plate boundary. The volcanic activty is due to a hot spot.

None. Kilauea is over a hot spot, far from the nearest plate boundary.

Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.

It is called a divergent plate boundary.
The Hawaiian Islands are a part of the Pacific oceanic plate. Their creation is owed to a hot spot in the mantle below the crust not plate boundary volcanism.
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
It is a destructive plate boundary ;)
transform boundary
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
