Which mountains were formed when two continents collided?

How have continents moved in the past?
Plate tectonics. Continents are the exposed (from the oceans) geological areas of tectonic plates. Continents can also be on top of more than one tectonic plate. When these plates move, continents move with them. Millions of years ago, continents were split apart and also created by tectonic plate movement.
What is the difference between a plate and a continent?
A continent is what floats on top of the plate. There are continental and oceanic plates. The continents float on the continental plate and the ocean sits on the oceanic plate. But there are also plates that carry both continents and oceans. The plates are what causes continental drift. So basically plates are what carry the continents and oceans.
The very slow movement of the continents is?
plate tectonics

Which two continents whose edges are not at all on the plate boundary?
Australia is in the middle of the Australian-Indian plate. Antarctica has its own plate, but the actual continent doesn't get near the plate boundary. It's plate is called, oddly enough, the Antarctic plate. Who would have figured? You could say that Africa's edges aren't on plate boundaries, but there are some places in northern Africa that get pretty close to being on a boundary.
