When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
When two continental plates collide, it is an example of convergent boundaries. Since continental crust is buoyant and brittle, it will not be easily subducted, unlike oceanic crust. Therefore, the subduction that does occur will be shallow and will not experience as many igneous intrusions. The two colliding continental plates will hit each other and will produce a buckling appearance as they both fight being subducted. These kind of collisions tend to produce immense mountains such as the Himalayas.One plate goes underneath they other and melts under the plate it went under and forms magma which causes an eruption

Volcanoes cannot be formed at a continental rift, due to the fact that a volcano cannot form between two continental plates: it normally forms when one continental plate and an oceanic plate collide. Normally, a volcano forms when one continental and one oceanic plate collides. The denser oceanic plate
Volcanoes may form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.
