Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.

Ocean convergence occurs when two ocean currents come together. This can lead to the uplift of deep water and the formation of upwelling zones, which can bring nutrients to the surface and support marine productivity.
Ocean-ocean convergence typically results in the formation of deep-sea trenches, volcanic island arcs, and seismic activity due to the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another. This process can also lead to the formation of new crust through volcanic activity at the convergent boundary.
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.
Convergence can occur between oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental plates. This process typically leads to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs.

Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.
