The image shows the collision of an oceanic plate with a continental plate, which is a type of convergent boundary associated with orogeny. Specifically, this type of boundary creates subduction zones where the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of mountain ranges and volcanic activity.
