Mountains are usually formed at what are calledconvergent plate boundaries, meaning a boundary at which two plates are moving towards one another. This type of boundary eventually results in a collision. What is a real life example of a transform boundary? The most famous example of this is th...

The convergent tectonic evolution of the Southern Urals started as the Magnitogorsk island arc, which had developed in the paleo-Uralian ocean, began to collide with the margin of Baltica (Zonenshain et al., 1984, Zonenshain et al., 1990, Puchkov, 1997, Brown and Spadea, 1999, Puchkov, ...

creating new crust. A prominent example can be seen in Iceland, which is splitting as the North American Plate moves westward relativeto the Eurasian Plate. At convergent boundaries, crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. This tends to form mountain ranges on continental, or surfac...
