Accretionary wedge.
The Andes Mountains in South America and the Cascades Range in North America were formed as a result of ocean-continental convergence. These mountains were created through the subduction of oceanic plates beneath continental plates, leading to the uplift of land and the formation of mountain ranges.
The Cascade Range mountains were created by a convergent boundary where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate. This collision led to magma being generated and rising to the surface, resulting in the volcanic peaks of the Cascade Range.
It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent.
It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)
Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates hit each other. This can cause earthquakes, but can also create mountains.
Some examples of mountain ranges created by continental-continental convergence are the Himalayas (resulting from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates) and the Alps (formed by the collision of African and Eurasian plates).

Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
The Himalayas were created from the convergence of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate. This collision continues to push the mountains higher each year.
