A mountain is an example of a possible result of converging plate boundaries. An actual example of a converging plate boundary would be the Indian-Eurasian Plate Boundarywhich is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range. Other convergent plates can create trenches such as the Mariana Trench, which is the lowest place on the surface of the Earth.


In the western US the movement of the air causes clouds to release their moister as air on which side of mountain ranges?

The movement of air in the western US causes clouds to release their moisture on the windward side of mountain ranges. As the air rises up the mountain slope, it cools down and reaches saturation, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. The leeward side of the mountain, in contrast, experiences a rain shadow effect with drier conditions.
