On a continental plate. Mount Saint Helens is on a convergent plate boundary. The Juan de Fuca plate is being pushed under the North American Plate.
Mount St. Helens has an oceanic crust. It is part of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where oceanic crust is being pushed beneath the North American tectonic plate.
Like most stratovolcanoes, Mount St Helens alternates between explosive and effusive eruptions.
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
Mount St Helens is a composite cone (strato) volcano.
Mount St. Helens, an active stratovolcano, is of the composite type.
