What are mountains associated with convergent plate boundaries?

What plate boundary are volcanic mountains on?

What are examples of fold mountains?

How was the Andes Mountains and Cascade Mountains most likely formed?

What are three types of of plate boundaries?
Oceanic-Continental Convergence - Andean-Type - the Andes MountainsOceanic-Oceanic Convergence - Aleutian-Type - island arcsContinental-Continental Convergence - the Appalachian Mountains
How were the Andes mountains the Himalayas and the islands of japan formed alike?
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
What type of plates collided to form the Andes Mountains on the west coast of South America?
