The Himalayas
Andes, convergence between South American Plate and Pacific Plate
The convergence of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate in the northwestern United States is an example. In this case, it has resulted in mountain building and volcanism.
Each of the plates may be oceanic or continental. That gives three possibilities:oceanic - oceanicoceanic - continentalcontinental - continental.
Mount St. Helens was formed by oceanic tectonic plate subduction beneath the North American Plate, which is an example of oceanic to continental convergence. The Juan de Fuca Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate, leading to the volcanic activity in the Cascade Range, including Mount St. Helens.

The Andes
The Himalayas are formed from a continental to continental plate convergence.

convergence between a continetal plate and an oceanic plate
The Himalayas were formed by the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, with the Indian plate pushing against the Eurasian plate, causing the land to rise and form the mountain range.
Mount St. Helens was formed by oceanic tectonic plate subduction beneath the North American Plate, which is an example of oceanic to continental convergence. The Juan de Fuca Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate, leading to the volcanic activity in the Cascade Range, including Mount St. Helens.
