Convergent Boundary.
The Himalaya mountains were formed in a collision of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate, in a convergent boundary known as a continental collision.

The Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate collided to create the Himalaya mountains.
Continental Collision Boundary
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
An example of a continental-continental boundary is the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate, which is located in the region of the Himalayas. The collision of these two plates has resulted in the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range.
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
The Himalayas resulted from the collision of the Indian Plate into the European plate. The softer Indian Plate was forced underneath the harder European Plate, which caused the European Plate to rise up and form the Himalayas.
The Himalaya mountains are estimated to have formed around 50 million years ago as a result of the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This ongoing collision continues to push the Himalayas higher each year.
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
