The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.

What type of boundary is between the north American plate and the pacific plate?

Between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, there is a convergent (AKA Collision) boundary taking place in most areas. The pressure is so great from both plates pushing together equally, that no subduction takes place; (which also means hardly any volcanoes) only upward folding. The upward folding is what has caused the massive mountain range known around the world as the Himalayas.
