convergent plate 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.
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
divergent plate boundary
The plate boundary is continental - continental. This creates mountains and earthquakes, but one plate doesn't go under the other

Convergent Boundary.
Mountains form at convergent plate 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 are created by tectonic plate boundaries where plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to fold and push upwards, forming mountain ranges.
Mountains are created at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and push against each other, causing the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, forming mountain ranges.
A constructive plate boundary, as it pushes land upwards (which formed the mountains)
