convergent
A convergent boundary. In the case of the Andes, the oceanic Nazca Plate and part of the oceanic Antarctic Plate slide towards the continental South American Plate. Because the former are heavier, they subduct (dive) under the lighter South American Plate causing orogenesis (the Andes) and corresponding volcanism (e.g. the Lascar Volcano).
The Lascar volcano forms basaltic lava, which is low in viscosity and typically erupts explosively, creating lava fountains, flows, and pyroclastic material.
it has a rounder curve cone to it from the west
A volcano is most likely to form at a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to subduct beneath the other. The subducted plate melts and rises to the surface, forming a volcano.

It is on a convergent plate boundry forming a subduction zone which build pressure in the volcano causing them to erupt.

Lascar volcano typically erupts with dacitic lava, which has a higher silica content compared to other types of lava such as basaltic lava. Dacitic lava is more viscous and tends to flow more slowly, resulting in explosive eruptions characterized by ash clouds and pyroclastic flows.
The Falcon Volcano on the Tonga Islands are in the Indo-Australian Plate- a convergent boundary.
The cotopaxi volcano sits on the pacific plate.
The Eyjafjallajökull Volcano is located on the Eurasian Plate in Iceland.
