Mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, were formed when 2 plates collided. When 2 tectonic plates crash together, the force pushes the plate boundaries upward and create mountains.
So, mountains are formed by convergent plate boundaries.

ADDED: Correct, though the collision is more a steady push than a "crash". The Himalayas are still forming, with the up-lift slightly faster than the erosion, as India is still colliding with the Asian continental plate.

What feature is associated with a continental plate boundary?
At a convergent plate boundary one of the features is mountains. Volcanoes are also typical.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
Which plate boundary and movement commonly create volcanoes that can result in the development of habitable islands?
these nuts
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.

Which boundary am i when plates collide into each other i can create mountains?
A destructive plate boundary.
What happens when sea floor plate slides into a continental plate what type of boundary wiil it make?
mountains or volcanoes will appear
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanoes?
A transform plate boundary
What is the difference between hotspot volcanoes and volcanoes formed at plate boundaries?
hotspot volcanoes are formed away from the edge of plate boundaries. Plate boundary volcanoes are near a plate boundary
Which plate boundary and movement commonly create volcanoes that can result in the development of habitable islands?
these nuts
What type of landforms might a convergent boundary create?
Landforms that could be created at convergent boundaries would include: volcanoes, mountains, trenches, volcanic islands, and even deserts could result from the effects of converging boundaries.the landforms are mountains
What is the surface feature produced by crustal movements at a transform plate boundary?
Valleys, Cliffs, Mountains and Volcanoescanada and australla
What type of plate boundary is the Andes mountains?
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.
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
What is the definition of convergent boundaries?
okay, a convergent boundary is when 2 plate tectonics collide together and making volcanoes or mountains :D
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
