They form because of stresses put on the continental plate, forcing it to crumple. The effect of rising is furthered by the oceanic plate forcing it upwards, and by the melted material also pushing upwards, which is why these ranges also tend to be volcanic. An example is the Andes

Do folded mountains form at convergent boundaries where two plates collide?
Yes, because of the huge compressional forces when two plates collide. This can happen at either a continental-continental boundary or a continental-oceanic boundary.
What types of mountains form when oceanic plates collide and slide under continental plates?
A Ocean-To-Continent Collision. A Volcanic Mountain Will Form.
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 volcano's form when oceanic and continental plates collide?
Mountains form where continental and oceanic plates collide by the actions of the plates upon one another. Often one plate pushes up and over the other one, and the upper one creates a row of mountains.
When are mountains most likely to form at a convergent boundary?
When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
When two continental plates collide what happens?
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
What can form when two continental plates collide?
Fold mountains
What features form where two continental plate come together?
When continental plates collide they form high mountains.
What occur when two continental plates collide pushing the continental crust up to form mountains?
Earthquakes!
What landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.
How do mountains occur?
When The Continental Crusts Of Two Plates Collide, They Wrinkle Up And Form A Mountain
Do folded mountains form at convergent boundaries where two plates collide?
Yes, because of the huge compressional forces when two plates collide. This can happen at either a continental-continental boundary or a continental-oceanic boundary.
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 types of mountains form when oceanic plates collide and slide under continental plates?
A Ocean-To-Continent Collision. A Volcanic Mountain Will Form.
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 :)
What does the collision of a continental plate and an oceanic plate produce?
when two plates collide they form trenches.
When are mountains most likely to form at convergent boundary?
When two continental plates collide or a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate.
