The Himalayas are found at a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone where one plate slips under the other driving the land mass up.
Continental to continental convergent plate boundary.
The Himalayas are associated with a convergent boundary between two continental plates.
A convergent, continent to continent plate boundary.

The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.
The Himalayan range is example of a divergent plate boundary
The Cascades are associated with a subduction zone, a type of convergent boundary.

The collision boundary type modeled the formation of the Himalayan mountains, where the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate. This collision resulted in the uplift and formation of the massive mountain range.
collisinal
The collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate created the Himalayan Mountains. This convergent boundary continues to push the mountains higher each year, making them one of the youngest and tallest mountain ranges in the world.
Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan 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.
According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, its formation is a result of a continental collision along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
