Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, form at convergent boundaries. These volcanoes are typically tall and steep-sided with alternating layers of lava, ash, and rock fragments due to the alternating eruptions of lava and explosive eruptions. Examples include Mount St. Helens in the USA and Mount Fuji in Japan.
They form on convergent boundaries.

Mount Wrangell is situated on a convergent plate boundary, specifically where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This boundary is associated with the formation of the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Range of mountains.
(A+LS) Convergent Boundary
A mountain range or trench can form at a convergent boundary. This is where two tectonic plates collide, causing one plate to be forced under the other (subduction) or where the plates crunch together to form a mountain range.
They form on convergent boundaries.

A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
The type of stress developed at a convergent boundary is Compressional Stress.
Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries form mountains with a volcanic origin, such as the Andes in South America. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries create volcanic island arcs, like the Japanese archipelago.
Folded mountain ranges form at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide, causing the crust to be compressed and folded. Examples include the Himalayas in Asia and the Andes in South America.
