The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.
The Andes
When tectonic plates move closer together, it is called plate convergence. This can result in the formation of features like mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.

ocean-continent convergence
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
mountian ranges ocean canyons and rift valleys
Complex mountain systems like the Himalayas are the result of tectonic plate collisions, specifically the Indo-Australian plate colliding with the Eurasian plate. The force from the collision causes the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, forming the towering peaks and deep valleys characteristic of mountain ranges.
Orogenic processes refer to the geological processes involved in the formation of mountain ranges through the collision and convergence of tectonic plates. These processes can include folding, faulting, metamorphism, and volcanic activity. Orogenic events can result in the uplift of rocks and the formation of large mountain chains.
