What forms when 2 plates collide?

What is it called when 2 tectonic plates collide?

What happens and what forms when 2 continental plates collide?
When two continental plates collide, they can form mountain ranges due to the intense compression and uplift of the Earth's crust. This collision can also lead to the formation of earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. Over time, the collision can result in the merging of the two continental plates into a single larger landmass.

What happens when 2 tectonic plates collide?
When two plates collide directly (versus sliding along each other) they typically form a mountain range. For example, the Himalayan Mountains are are formed by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. As John McPhee says in "Annals of the Former World", the most amazing thing is that the summit of Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain, is marine limestone.
Where do many earthquakes happen in a country?
it happens when the tectonic plates under the earth collide or push into each other to cause disruption so an earthquake would happen in a place were there is the edge of 2 tectonic plates underneath.
When 2 plates made of continental lithosphere collide may form?
A mountain
