Are the Himalayas an example of a continental- continental convergent plate boundary?

Although they aren't common, yes, transform faults can give rise to mountains. Most transform faults take place between oceanic crust, but an easy-to-see example is that of the San Andreas Fault giving rise to the San Gabriel Mountains.

∙ 9y agoNo, the Himalayas were not formed at a transform boundary such as those that occur in the oceans. They were formed at a convergent boundary which happens when two continental crusts collide.

∙ 13y agoNo. They were formed by a continental-continental collision.

∙ 12y agoNo. They usually form on convergent boundaries.

What are continental mountain ranges associated with?
Plate tectonics, (inter-continental plate collision).
What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
What is an example of convergent boundaries?
An example of convergent plate boundaries on earth is the Himalayas. :)

Is volcano an example of divergent convergent or transform?
A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.

What type of fault exists between the North American and Pacific Plate?
The North American and Pacific Plate boundary is an example of a convergent plate boundary, specifically an oceanic to continental convergent plate boundary.
Does the Eurasian plate have a convergent boundary?
It has several! For example the Himalayas are formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.

What is a specific geographic example of a feature formed at a convergent boundary between two continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
What is a example of a large mountain range formed when two plate's made of continental lithosphere collided?
convergent boundary ^.<
Where is there a real world example of an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary?
The western coast of South America is a very good example of an oceanic to continental convergent boundary where the Nazca plate is colliding (and being subducted beneath) the South American plate.

an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
