Most of the volcanoes at convergent boundaries are stratovolcanoes.
Hekla volcano is located along a divergent plate boundary in Iceland, where the North American and Eurasian plates are moving apart. This movement creates rift zones where volcanic activity is common, including Hekla.
Volcanoes are more common along convergent boundaries where two tectonic plates collide, causing subduction and the melting of rock. Divergent boundaries also have volcanoes, but they are typically less explosive and occur as a result of magma rising to fill the gap created by the moving plates.
Convergent boundaries occur continuously along tectonic plate boundaries. The most recent significant convergent boundary activity can be observed today along subduction zones, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, where one plate is being forced beneath another. This ongoing process results in seismic and volcanic activity.
Islands can form at various types of plate boundaries, including divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. Island formation is often influenced by volcanic activity associated with plate boundaries.

yes mount rainier is located along a convergent plate boundary.
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.

The Ring of Fire is located along convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are colliding. This results in volcanoes, earthquakes, and the formation of mountain ranges around the Pacific Ocean.
