Yes, this type of collision causes high mountains. For an example, look at the Himalayas.

What high mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at which type of plate boundary?
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
What can geologic plate movements cause?
Depending upon the region and other environmental influences; hotspots, earthquakes, mountain ranges, and ocean trenches and ridges.
What 2 things happen when plates move together?
When two plates rub against each other this will cause earthquakes or tsunamis. When they bash together they can either cause mountain ranges or volcanoes.
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.
The main cause for most collisions?
Mental mistakes
What is the cause for mountain ranges?
continental drifts
What is cause mountain ranges to rise?
One tectonic plate moving into another one causes mountain ranges to rise.
What forces cause mountain ranges?
The tectonic plates pushing each other cause mountain ranges. Like when a towel is folded, you get the ridges. That's exactly what happens.
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
How does compression in southern California cause basins and mountain ranges form?
The San Andreas fault has caused the basins and mountain ranges to form.
How does erosion and deposition affect mountain ranges?
Deposition and erosion can wear down a mountain and cause it to shrink.
How does water cause weathering of rocks in mountain ranges?
Three types of weathing
Two continental plates may collide and cause?
Emergence of highlands such as mountain ranges.
What high mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at which type of plate boundary?
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
What is a leading cause of freeway collisions?
The leading cause of freeway collisions is following another driver too closely.
What is the number one cause of collisions on the freeway you?
The number one cause of collisions on the freeway is following too closely (tailgating).
Compare and contrast the Himalayas and the rocky mountains?
Its simple as they are both mountain ranges but in different locations and they all have a good cause.
