Mountain ranges are formed when two continental plates collide. When they converge one plate will be forced slightly under the other one.
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. At this type of boundary, the denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate in a process known as subduction. This collision often results in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.
It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. In this type of boundary, one plate is forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This collision can result in the formation of mountains, volcanic arcs, and deep-sea trenches.
When plates converge, a fold mountain is formed. This happens when the edges of two tectonic plates push against each other, causing the land to buckle and fold, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas or the Andes.
The Himalayas are Fold Mountains

When plates collide it is called a convergent boundary.newtest3
Convergent boundary
When two plates collide directly (versus sliding along each other) they typically form a mountain range. For example, the Himalayan Mountains are are formed by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. As John McPhee says in "Annals of the Former World", the most amazing thing is that the summit of Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain, is marine limestone.
When two continental plates collide, a convergent boundary is formed. This collision can create mountain ranges due to intense pressure and compression of the Earth's crust. The collision can also lead to the uplift of crustal rocks and the formation of deep sedimentary basins.

Folded mountains are formed at converging continental plates due to the intense pressure and compression that occurs as the plates collide. This results in the upward buckling and folding of the Earth's crust, creating mountain ranges.
Fold mountains are formed by vertical pressure when tectonic plates collide and force rock layers to bend and uplift, creating ridges and peaks. Examples include the Himalayas and the Alps.
Folded mountains. These are formed when tectonic plates clashed together and formed in and up.

When two Continental plates collide, both plates lift upward and it can form mountains or mountain chains.
