Detailed explanation-1: -Volcanoes are one kind of feature that forms along convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and one moves beneath the other.
Detailed explanation-2: -A collisional mountain range forms as an entire ocean closes and blocks of thick continental crust collide.
Detailed explanation-3: -When two plates with continental crust collide, they will crumple and fold the rock between them. A plate with older, denser oceanic crust will sink beneath another plate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Summary. Continental crust is too buoyant to subduct. 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.
