Yes. The tectonics are pushed together and the parts that connect are pushed up and made into mountains. But this only works if the two plates are of equal density, otherwise the denser plate will sink under neath the other plate. The oceanic plates are denser but thinner, and the continental plates are thicker but less dense.

∙ 14y agoYes, due to collision plate boundaries many types of fold mountains have been formed when two continental plates are pushed against each other, they form fold mountains.

∙ 14y agoAll plates cause mountain ranges, but if you mean to say what type of fault line causes mountain ranges, the answer is a convergent fault line.

What process is most responsible for building California and mountains?
Plate tectonics can create mountains. Plate Tectonics can also cause earthquakes in California.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics can cause volcanoes, earthquakes, and underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.
Are any of the mountains on the moon formed by plate tectonics?
yes
Explains locations of mountains, trenches, and volcanoes?
plate tectonics

Why are mountains lacated where they are?
Mountains are formed when the plate tectonics overlap
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
How can non-volcanic mountains be created by plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics create mountains by shifting. They ran into each other and the crashes created solid mountains. Mountains are like wrinkles in the earth.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics can cause volcanoes, earthquakes, and underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.
What is the process when mountains are formed again?
Plate Tectonics.
What forces build up mountains?
plate tectonics
Samilarties and differences between volvano and plate tectonics?
Volcanos are mountains in which lava comes out and plate tectonics is the theory of plates moving.
How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!
What the earth would be like with no plate tectonics?
Their would be no mountains.
Explains locations of mountains, trenches, and volcanoes?
plate tectonics
Are any of the mountains on the moon formed by plate tectonics?
yes
