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.

Which plate boundary and movement commonly create volcanoes that can result in the development of habitable islands?
these nuts
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
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.
Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.
What type of plate boundary is mauna kea?
Mauna Kea is a convergent boundary. You're welcome. ;)
What feature is associated with a continental plate boundary?
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.
Which boundary am i when plates collide into each other i can create mountains?
A destructive plate boundary.
What happens when sea floor plate slides into a continental plate what type of boundary wiil it make?
mountains or volcanoes will appear

Are mountains and volcanoes two features found most commonly at plate boundaries?
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(:
What type of plate boundary is the Andes 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.
What kind of plate boundary causes mountains to form?
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
What kind of plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes?
The Transform plate boundary commonly forms a chain of volcanoes - Professer Humifiken
What is the definition of convergent boundaries?
okay, a convergent boundary is when 2 plate tectonics collide together and making volcanoes or mountains :D
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
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.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
What is the plate boundary of the himalaya mountains?
Convergent Boundary.
Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.
