How do the mountains that form along an oceanic oceanic convergent boundary differ from those associated with an oceanic continental convergent boundary?

the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.

Do mountains form in the convergent boundary?
Yes, to be more specific a continental-continental convergent boundary.
What is produced at continental continental convergent boundaries?
mountains can be created
What feature is associated with a continental plate boundary?
At a convergent plate boundary one of the features is mountains. Volcanoes are also typical.
