north american plate
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.
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
Convergent Boundary.
The Cascade Range mountains were created by a convergent boundary where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate. This collision led to magma being generated and rising to the surface, resulting in the volcanic peaks of the Cascade Range.
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.

A constructive plate boundary, as it pushes land upwards (which formed the mountains)
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.
Convergent Boundaries.
The Andes mountains were formed from the interaction of the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate, which is a convergent plate boundary. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the uplift and formation of the Andes mountains.
The Himalayas were created from the convergence of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate. This collision continues to push the mountains higher each year.
