How are volcano mountain related to interaction of plates?

Volcanoes are related to the interaction of tectonic plates because at the site of a volcano, there is a convergent boundary. This is when two tectonic plates come together to create a mountain. Sometimes, the magma underneath the crust pushes upwards, which melts more and more rock from the tectonic plates. This allows volcanoes to begin to form. After there is a fair amount of the inner part of the crust melted away, convection of the magma helps the magma to rise, and thus an eruption happening, and the volcano getting bigger over time.

Plates crumple up to form what ranges?

Plates crumple up to form mountain ranges due to the intense forces of tectonic activity, such as collision or subduction. When plates collide, the immense pressure forces the edges of the plates to crumple and uplift, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas.

Where are mountain ranges most likely to occur?

Mountain Ranges are most likely to occur at the places that two colliding plates hit each other. Then, because of all the pressure, the plates crumple and folds. That's what makes mountain ranges.
