divergent plate boundary
The Divergent Boundaries.
A convergent plate boundary creates a deep ocean trench along the edge of a continent. In this boundary type, an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental plate, leading to the formation of the trench due to subduction.
A transform plate boundary is where plates move sideways past each other. This movement typically creates strike-slip faults.
Mount Erebus is located on the boundary of the Antarctic Plate and the Pacific Plate. The movement of these plates against each other creates a convergent boundary, where the Pacific Plate is being forced beneath the Antarctic Plate. This process, known as subduction, is responsible for the volcanic activity at Mount Erebus.
Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Plate, which is a stable tectonic plate. The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a hot spot underneath the plate, where magma rises and creates volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over it. This is why Hawaii is not located at a plate boundary, such as a divergent or convergent boundary.

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.
The plate boundary is continental - continental. This creates mountains and earthquakes, but one plate doesn't go under the other
