Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan Mountains.

Convergent plate boundaries cause mountains to rise. This is where tectonic plates collide, forcing one plate to be pushed up and over the other, leading to the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of this type of boundary include the Himalayas, created by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
The Andes Mountains are the eastern border of Chile.
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. In this type of boundary, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This collision can result in the formation of mountains, volcanic arcs, and deep-sea trenches.
Convergent Boundaries.
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
The type of boundary that causes shearing is transform boundary.
The boundary that causes the formation of mountains is called a convergent boundary. This occurs when two tectonic plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to be pushed upwards, creating mountain ranges.
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.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.

Continental Collision Boundary
The plate boundary that causes the formation of mountains is called a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates collide and push against each other, leading to the uplift of land and the creation of mountain ranges.
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
(A+LS) Convergent Boundary
The Cascade Mountains are a volcanic mountain range located in the western United States. They are considered to be a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding.
