Convergent Boundaries.
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.
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
The type of boundary that causes shearing is transform boundary.
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 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.

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.
Convergent plate boundaries cause mountains to rise. This is where tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to be pushed up and over the other, leading to the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of this type of boundary include the Himalayas, created by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
(A+LS) 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.
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 Cascade Mountains are primarily located along the boundary between the Juan de Fuca Plate and the North American Plate. This boundary is a convergent plate boundary, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate, leading to the formation of the Cascade Range through volcanic activity.
