An oceanic-continental convergence gives rise to folded mountains.
continental-continental convergence
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
Mountains: as one continent would go under the other and at this point the second would lift up. For example, it is how Himalaya mountains emerged.
Convergent plate boundaries are responsible for mountain building. Continent-to-continent boundaries build mountains like the Himalayas. Continent-to-ocean boundaries build mountains like the Cascades. The difference is that continent-to-continent convergent boundaries do not produce volcanoes.
