Folded mountains are formed by the convergence of two continental crust plates, which causes the rock layers to fold upward. Examples include the Himalayas, which were formed by the Indian plate colliding with the Eurasian plate. Convergent boundaries can also occur between oceanic crust and continental crust, or two oceanic crust plates, resulting in volcanic mountain ranges like the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.
