When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary. The Appalachian Mountains resulted from ancient convergence when Pangaea came together.

This type of convergent plate boundary results in mountains when two continents meet. The incredible Himalayas Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary.
Explanation:
- When a collision takes place between two tectonic plates, the older and therefore heavier plate subducts beneath the other, initiating volcanic activity in a manner similar to what occurs at an oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary and creating a volcanic island
- When two continental crusted plates converge, they eventually collide and result in the formation of mountains.
- Volcanoes and ridges are landforms formed as a result of tectonic plate movement.
