Subduction is one of several things that can occur when two tectonic plates collide. In subduction, one plate ends up dropping below the other plate (think of a wrestler dropping low to get under his opponent's guard). As the one plate drops lower, it pushes the other plate upwards, often causing a mountain chain to form.
The main mountain range is the Andes Mountains.

The Andes mountains and the islands of Japan are both formed by subduction zones which was caused by volcanoes. The Himalayas were formed by convergent plate boundaries but no subduction zone. Instead the plates collided and there was uplift causing the mountains.
