Yes, the collision of the tectonic plates due to internal disturbance can lead to the formation of mountain range because of there sliding over one another.

What does the collision of two plates carrying continental crust cause the formation of?
It would cause a mountain range and possibly volcanoes in that mountain range.
What happens when two continental plates come together?
When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
What mountain chain was caused by the collision of the Eurasian or African continental plates with the North American Plates?
The mountain range in which the eurasian and the African plate collide are called the alps!
Collision of a continental and oceanic plate causes this in the plates?
compression
What is a common result of the collision of two continental plates?
A range of very high mountains.
What is created when there is a continental-continental collision?
Both plates collide and lift upward, forming moutains or mountain ranges.
What type of landform is created by the collision of continental?
When two Continental plates collide, both plates lift upward and it can form mountains or mountain chains.
What mountain chain was caused by the collision of the Eurasian or Africa continental plates with the north American Plate?
Appalachian Mountain Range
What mountain chain was caused by the collision of the Eurasian or African continental plates with the North American plate?
The appalachian Mountain range
What types of mountains form when oceanic plates collide and slide under continental plates?
A Ocean-To-Continent Collision. A Volcanic Mountain Will Form.

How are fold mountains made?
Fold mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate subducts under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold like a rug being pushed into a wall.
Is it true that mountains form as a result of a collision between two continental plates?
That is one method of mountain formation, yes.
What is it called when two plates collide forming a mountain?
I think that when two continental plates collide it's called a collision margin, the mountains that then form are called fold mountains :)
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
