convergent boundary.
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.

The Andes mountains were formed from the interaction of the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate, which is a convergent plate boundary. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the uplift and formation of the Andes mountains.
The Andes Mountians.

A constructive plate boundary, as it pushes land upwards (which formed the mountains)
A convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate.
The Andes Mountains are the eastern border of Chile.
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
Yes.
The Andes Mountain Chain is formed as a result of a convergent plate boundary, the collision of the South American Plate with the Nazca Plate.
When two edges of tectonic plates collide (convergent boundary) they can cause a crumpling effect and an upthrust to form mountains. The Himalayas, for instance, were formed when the Indian Plate crashed into the Asian Plate. Convergent boundary also applies to the situation where one plate moves under the other (subduction) this kind of plate boundary can also form mountain chains. An example of this is the Andes mountains.
