When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, The oceanic plate goes under the Continental plate, creating friction deep in the earth, where the plates are rubbing against each other, creating magma, which rises to the surface and creates volcanic mountain ranges. The Andes mountain range is an example. I don't know if this will help you at all.
