an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
The North American and Pacific Plate boundary is an example of a convergent plate boundary, specifically an oceanic to continental convergent plate boundary.
Convergent boundary Convergent boundary
A mountain is an example of a possible result of converging plate boundaries. An actual example of a converging plate boundary would be the Indian-Eurasian Plate Boundarywhich is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range. Other convergent plates can create trenches such as the Mariana Trench, which is the lowest place on the surface of the Earth.
convergent continental-continental boundary
The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.

A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.
The North American and Pacific Plate boundary is an example of a convergent plate boundary, specifically an oceanic to continental convergent plate boundary.
Convergent boundary Convergent boundary
The convergence of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate in the northwestern United States is an example. In this case, it has resulted in mountain building and volcanism.
convergent plate boundary
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
Plate tectonics, (inter-continental plate collision).

The western coast of South America is a very good example of an oceanic to continental convergent boundary where the Nazca plate is colliding (and being subducted beneath) the South American plate.
