mountains are made when the crust folds, tilts ,and lifts as a result of this meeting of plates.

earthquakes,volcanoes,and mountains form
Mountains usually form on plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and force the ground upward. There are very few volcanic mountains, such as the Hawaiian Islands, that form in the middle of the plates.

Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.

Well convergent boundaries form mountains, but where do mountains form within the boundary? They start under the ocean and come up when the plates come together. So therfore they form under the ocean.
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
There are 3 main types of boundaries between plates: Convergent- when two plates are coming together (mostly form mountains) Divergent- when two plates are moving apart (mostly form rift valleys) Transform- when two plates slide past one another (also called strike-slip)
