Answer:

The Andes mountain is formed by destructive collision while the Himalayas is formed from continental plates collision. And the Islands of Japan are mostly formed by destructive collision.

Explanation:

The Andes mountain range are formed from destructive convergent boundary. A boundary where there is active subduction. Convergent boundary occur when their is collision of tectonic plates. The Andes mountain range was formed as a result of the collision of an oceanic plate and continental plate. The oceanic plate been denser than the continental plate tends to subduct(sink under) because of the very active nature of the continental plate due to it less dense nature. The Andes mountain range are formed from the collision of the Antarctic plates and the south American plates. The Antarctic plates(oceanic crust) have been subducting beneath the south American plates(continental crust). This region is known for earth quakes and Volcanic activities. The subduction of this Antarctic plates causes an exposure of aesthenospheric materials to the surface like molten magma. Volcanic eruption may occur releasing this material to the surface and form volcanoes.

While  

The Himalayas mountain was also formed due to tectonic plates collision .But the collision was between a continental plates. The collision was between 2 very active plate . This two plates push each other actively to form uprising structure like the highest mountain in the world(Mountain Everest). As one plate partially subduct the sign of their active pushing are mountainous structures. The Himalayas mountain was formed from the collision of  Eurasian plates and the Indian plates.  

While

Japan Islands are mostly formed due to subduction .The collision of these plates causes the subduction of the denser plate. Example of these kind of collisions that result to subduction are the pacific plate under the  Okhotsk Plate, the Philippine sea plate under the Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate. The islands are mostly formed due to oceanic plate collision and continental plates.
