Mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, were formed when 2 plates collided. When 2 tectonic plates crash together, the force pushes the plate boundaries upward and create mountains.
So, mountains are formed by convergent plate boundaries.

ADDED: Correct, though the collision is more a steady push than a "crash". The Himalayas are still forming, with the up-lift slightly faster than the erosion, as India is still colliding with the Asian continental plate.

The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.
Mauna Kea is a convergent boundary. You're welcome. ;)
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.
A destructive plate boundary.
mountains or volcanoes will appear

Yes. Generally that is where the tectonic plates are. Mountain and volcanoes are formed by tectonic plate movement, so yes they are 2 features that are most commonly found at plate boundaries. Fault Block Mountains(:
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
okay, a convergent boundary is when 2 plate tectonics collide together and making volcanoes or mountains :D

Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
