Convergent
boundaries or destructive plate boundary due to subduction, is an actively deforming
area where two or more tectonic plates of the lithosphere move towards one
another and collide. As an effect of pressure, plate material and friction
melting in the mantle, volcanoes and earthquakes are common near convergent
boundaries. Subduction or continental collision is created when two plates move
towards one another, depending on the nature of the involved plates. During
these collisions (between two continental plates) Himalayas and large mountain
ranges are formed.

Answer: Snowfield or Glacier
Explanation:
The higher one goes, the colder it becomes. This affects water as well when it falls to the earth. If it falls in an area that is cold such as high elevation areas, it would end up freezing up and becoming snow.
When this happens, it would usually be stored in an area with other snow such as a snowfield or a glacier. This is why high mountains usually have snow caps. Mt. Kilimanjaro for instance in is Mid-Africa, a region which gets no snow whatsoever yet, it still has a snow cap.
