mountain ranges
Composite cone
Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.

Convergent boundaries are responsible for creating mountain ranges. When two tectonic plates collide, the land is forced upwards, creating intense pressure that results in the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of mountain ranges formed by convergent boundaries include the Himalayas and the Andes.
The mountains that are associated with convergent plate boundaries are mountain ranges or mountain belts. Examples of a mountain range is the Andes.
There are three types of convergent boundaries: Oceanic, continental, and continental-oceanic convergent boundaries. Continental-continental convergent boundaries form mountain ranges. Continental-oceanic boundaries result in subduction zones and the recycling of lithosphere. The continental side of the boundary may form a mountain range. Oceanic-oceanic form deep oceanic trenches and sometimes volcanoes.

The Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are examples of mountain ranges formed by continental-continental convergent boundaries. These boundaries occur when two continental plates collide, resulting in intense folding, faulting, and uplift of the Earth's crust to create mountain ranges.
I thought the same which forms mountain ranges, 'constructive' plates.Volcanic Island arcs are found along subduction zones, wich occur at convergent boundaries.
