A convergent boundary between two continental plates causes both plates to crumple to form fold mountains e.g. the HimalayasA convergent boundary between a continental and an oceanic causes one to rise above the other. Granite is less dense than basalt, so the continental plate rises above the oceanic plate. This also forms mountains, like the Andes.
A Collision plate boundary, where two continental plates that are the same in density and thickness, push against each other forming fold mountains and crumble zones. This causes Earthquakes from the pressure and stress but not volcanoes.
Oceanice oceanic has a trench, which is usually the deepest part of the ocean. It also has a volcanic island. That is how Islands are found in the center of oceans. oceanic convergent has similar features but do not have islands but instead volcanic arc on the continents.
At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
a mountain forms
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.

At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
The North American and Pacific Plate boundary is an example of a convergent plate boundary, specifically an oceanic to continental convergent plate boundary.
The oceanic plate usually subsides after colliding with a continental plate.
a mountain forms
The Himalayan mountains.
When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
