Mount Hood is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which formed as a  result of the convergent boundary between the North American Plate  and the Juan de Fuca Plate.Edit.ransform boundary: when two plates grind past each other. Convergent boundary: when the two plates collide.
Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater (Iceland is an exception) and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries. The third type of plate boundary occurs where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. This is known as a transform plate boundary. As the plates rub against each other, huge stresses are set up that can cause portions of the rock to break, resulting in earthquakes.
