In the proses of a subduction, one plate (normally an oceanic plate) is formed beneath another into the solid but fluid mantle below. When the subducted plate is thicker, less dense continental plate, it resists being pushed into the thicker rock, and pushes upward on the overlying plate. This buckles the overlying crust and increases its elevation.
It should not be noted that mountains are "built" almost as slowly as they are eroded the proses taking place over tens of millions of years.
