Want this question answered?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
It is because volcanoes form by two tectonic plates which when both collide and they form volcanoes which a magma rock forms when it explodes.
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.

earthquakes
Two tectonic plates collide, one goes under and the other goes over. Usually this forms an earthquake and is how most mountains are formed eg: the great dividing range. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
