fault-block
hot spot volcanoes such as the Hawaiian island chain.
Continental Collision Boundary
Divergent: Created Collision\Subduction: Destroyed
the Himalayas were formed by a collision plate boundary, meaning that the plates collided and formed the Himalayas. The Himalayas are also referred to as 'fold mountains' because of the way in which they are made.

Mount Everest was formed by a convergent or collision boundary.
Continental Collision Boundary
when plate boundaries converge folded mountains are formed.
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.
