Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.
Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.

convergent plate boundaries
Continental/Continental convergant boundaries create the tallest mountains on land.
A transform fault does not typically form mountains. Transform faults are characterized by horizontal motion and sliding past each other, so they do not promote vertical displacement that creates mountains like convergent or divergent boundaries do.
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.
Convergent Boundaries.
Convergent boundaries with either oceanic-continental or continental-continental crust types can create enormous mountains. The collision of tectonic plates at these boundaries forces the crust to fold, fault, and uplift, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
Mountains are created by tectonic plate boundaries where plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to fold and push upwards, forming mountain ranges.
mountains, volcanoes, rift valleys, fault lines,
Mountain ranges can be created at all three types of plate boundaries in California: convergent boundaries (e.g. Sierra Nevada Mountains), divergent boundaries (e.g. Basin and Range Province), and transform boundaries (e.g. San Gabriel Mountains).
