False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
Abyssal hills are formed by stretching oceanic lithospere.
Volcanic arcs and trenches are commonly produced when the oceanic plate bends downwards. For more details, see the following:When an oceanic plate and a continental plate meet at a convergent boundary, the denser oceanic plate is forced down below the less dense continental plate. This is known as subduction.This forms a deep trench on the ocean bed and the subducted crust containing high proportions of volatiles (i.e. water) melts as it sinks. This magma forces it's way to the surface forming volcanoes.Please see the related link for more details.
the earth is made up of different plates and all the plates are different sizes, shapes and weight. there are 2 types of plates, oceanic and continental. a mountain is formed when 2 continental plates of the same weight collide into each other, it creates a mountain and the oceanic plates underneath them are pused down.

When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, it forms a volcano. The oceanic plate subducts underneath the continental plate. As the oceanic plate slides underneath, a magma chamber is formed. This magma chamber is what feeds the volcano.
Subduction (where one plate is forced beneath another less dense plate - may occur at oceanic-oceanic and oceanic-continental boundaries), obduction (where oceanic plate is forced over a continental plate) and orogenesis where two continental plates collide and mountains are formed (e.g. the Himalayas).
The Andes Mountains were formed through subduction of the oceanic plate underneath the South American plate.
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.

The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
An oceanic plate went underneath a continental plate and so the volcano was formed

Volcanoes are formed when at least one of the plates colliding is a oceanic plate. The denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the less dense plate (usually continental) and starts to melt as it gets deeper into the Earth's core. Because the oceanic plate has water in it, the water turns into steam which then forces the melted plate back towards Earth's surface in the form of lava, creating a volcano.
