High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
Mountain formation is a feature associated with a continental plate boundary, where the collision of two continental plates results in the uplift of the Earth's crust, creating mountain ranges such as the Himalayas.
No, volcanoes are not always located near mountain ranges. While many volcanoes are associated with mountain ranges formed by tectonic plate movements, volcanoes can also occur in other geological settings such as island chains, ocean ridges, and hot spots on the Earth's surface.
Continental mountain ranges are associated with the convergent boundaries of tectonic plates. When two plates collide, they can cause the Earth's crust to uplift, creating mountain ranges. Examples include the Rocky Mountains in North America and the Himalayas in Asia.
Another type of boundary where rock layers fold to form mountain ranges is a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates are pushed together, causing compression that leads to the folding and uplift of rock layers, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges.
Fault Lines. A transform boundary connects two diverging boundaries, creating a fault line. ... Trenches. Trenches are geological features formed by convergent boundaries. ... Volcanoes. ... Mountain Ranges. ... Ridges. ... Rift Valleys.

There are actually two mountain ranges that act as a boundary, the Ural Mountains and the Caucuses.
Convergent boundaries are typically found where mountain ranges are created. This is where two tectonic plates move towards each other, causing the crust to buckle and push upwards, forming mountain ranges.

The Hindu Kush and Karakoram mountain ranges mark the northern boundary of the Indus River valley civilization. These mountain ranges act as natural barriers, providing protection and isolation for the civilization.
The movement of the Pacific and North American plates produced California's major geological features. These features include faults, volcanoes, mountain ranges, and basins.
