Folded mountains are formed when two of the tectonic plates that make up Earth's crust push together at the border. The extreme pressure forces the edges of the plates upwards into a series of folds.
subduction zones- destructive plate boundary, benioff zone, conversion. all the same thing really A convergent boundary.
because in destructive plate boundaries such as the south american and narzca plates they are moving towards each other which causes sold mountains to be formed
You could find subduction zones in the depths of the oceans, at some plate boundaries. At this location, you would observe one tectonic plate (a plate of lower density then the other) being slipped under another plate into magma. These are also known as destructive boundaries, because crust is being destroyed, (as opposed to diverent boundaries where leaking magma creates new crust.)
At a destructive or convergent plate boundary, you will often find volcanoes, though a little way away from the actual boundary. Earthquakes will be common. At a constructive or divergent plate boundary, you will often find either a trench or a small ridge going along the boundary. At a conservative plate boundary, there are very few features to be seen, save for the large crack in the ground. Sometimes there can be some cliff forming at the fault line. Earthquakes are very common. At a collision plate boundary, large fold mountains will be formed.
Convergent boundaries are where plates move into one another. When the Indian Plate collided with the harder Eurasian Plate the Indian Plate went underneath and raised up the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas.
Most geological activity occurs where the earth's tectonic plates come together. This causes volcanoes and mountains to form while it also causes earthquakes.
Anywhere you find volcanic activities but usally is on plate boundaries where you find subduction of one plate into another. Usually Continent-Oceanic convergence. the oceanic sink below the continent because the continental plates are less denser than the oceanic plate. you can also find igneous rocks on oceanic-oceanic plates where the form island arc.

You would expect to find a mountain range in regions where tectonic plates collide, such as along plate boundaries like the Himalayas (where the Indian plate collides with the Eurasian plate) or the Rocky Mountains (formed by the North American plate and Pacific plate).
Yes, There are plate boundaries all over the world.

Don't know but I want to find out!
A destructive plate boundary (WITH a subduction zone!)
Linear patterns of earthquakes is one method of detecting them.
Fold mountains can be found at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced up over the other, forming long, linear mountain ranges. Examples of fold mountains include the Rockies in North America and the Alps in Europe.
An earthquake is most likely to occur at the edge of a continental plate because it is caused by the collision of two plates. A volcano occurs because the flow of magma is less restricted around the continental plates' outer shelves.
