What kind of volcano occurs where two tectonic plates collide?

What is the definition of the word continental collision?

When 2 slabs of rock collide what happens?
An earthquake . . . the tectonic plates are slabs of rock and when thy shift, it creates an earthquake.
What happens when tech tonic plates collide with oceanic plates?
When tectonic plates collide with oceanic plates, the denser oceanic plate is usually forced beneath the less dense continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep ocean trenches. The collision can also cause earthquakes and crustal deformation.
What is it called when two plates collide forming a mountain?
I think that when two continental plates collide it's called a collision margin, the mountains that then form are called fold mountains :)
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
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.
What is it called when pressure builds up in a rock or when other pieces of the Earth's crust collide?
Convergence of tectonic plates, which can cause earth quakes and tsunamis.
What really causes an earthquake?
