Convergent boundaries are formed when two plates on the earth's surface collide. This may cause one of three things to happen. One, one plate will be forced under the other causing a trench and creating mountain ranges, two, the two plates will crumple together like an Accordion and pus up forming mountain ranges like the Himalayas, and three the may remain stationary possibly causing earthquakes and increasing the pressure of the lithosphere. So convergent plate boundaries regularly result in mountains and ocean trenches. The areas around convergent boundaries are often subject to increased levels of seismic activity do to the friction and pressure caused by the boundary
