Here are some real-world examples of convergent plate boundaries, listed by type and what they produce:

- Oceanic–continental
- Peru–Chile (Nazca plate subducting under South America) — produces the Peru–Chile Trench and the Andes Mountains/volcanic arc.
- Cascadia (Juan de Fuca under North America) — ocean trench, volcanic Cascade Range, and large earthquakes.

- Oceanic–oceanic
- Mariana Trench (Pacific plate subducting under the smaller Mariana plate) — the deepest ocean trench and an island arc (Marianas).
- Aleutian Islands (Pacific plate subducting beneath the North American/Alaskan microplates) — volcanic island arc and seismicity.

- Continental–continental
- Himalayas (Indian plate colliding with the Eurasian plate) — no subduction of dense oceanic lithosphere; forms very high mountain ranges and intense crustal shortening.
- Alps (African plate collision with Eurasia) — mountain building from continental collision.

Common features at convergent boundaries: deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, mountain ranges, and frequent strong earthquakes.
