The Andes
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.
Some continental mountain ranges are usually associated with forming as a result of tectonic plate collisions or convergent boundaries. These processes involve the plates pushing against each other, leading to the uplift of the Earth's crust and the formation of mountain ranges. Examples include the Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, and the Rocky Mountains in North America.
generally in mountain ranges
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
In Europe: the Alps, in the Americas: the Andes.

Continental-continental convergence
are the result of continental-continental convergence (:
Continental-continental convergence.

Ocean convergence with continental plates result in subduction zone. Oceanic with oceanic plates convergence forms volcanic mountain.
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
continental-continental convergence
Continental plate to continental plate collisions.
Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.
ocean-continent convergence
There are three types of convergent boundaries: Oceanic, continental, and continental-oceanic convergent boundaries. Continental-continental convergent boundaries form mountain ranges. Continental-oceanic boundaries result in subduction zones and the recycling of lithosphere. The continental side of the boundary may form a mountain range. Oceanic-oceanic form deep oceanic trenches and sometimes volcanoes.
