Mountains.
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.

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).
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
Convergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries, where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Convergent boundary
because they all collide
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).
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary

mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
