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).
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.

The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.

The Andes
The Andes mountain range was not formed as a result of continental-continental convergence; instead, it resulted from oceanic-continental convergence. Specifically, the Andes were created by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. In contrast, the Himalayas, Alps, and Appalachians are primarily the result of continental-continental tectonic interactions.
When tectonic plates move closer together, it is called plate convergence. This can result in the formation of features like mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.

Mid-ocean ridges are actually formed by plate divergence, not convergence. They occur at divergent tectonic plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma from the mantle to rise and create new oceanic crust. This process results in the formation of underwater mountain ranges and is associated with volcanic activity. In contrast, plate convergence typically leads to the formation of features like mountain ranges or subduction zones.
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
Complex mountain systems like the Himalayas are the result of tectonic plate collisions, specifically the Indo-Australian plate colliding with the Eurasian plate. The force from the collision causes the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, forming the towering peaks and deep valleys characteristic of mountain ranges.
