Answer;

can form mountains and volcanoes.

Convergent faults can form mountains and volcanoes.

Explanation;

  • Convergent plates boundary are created when two tectonic plates collide such that one of the converging plates will move beneath the other forming a subduction zone. The process is called subduction.
  • Convergent faults happen when plates move toward one another , and can form volcanoes and also create mountains.
  • At convergent plate boundaries where two plates move toward each other a compressive stress takes place
