I think that when two continental plates collide it's called a collision margin, the mountains that then form are called fold mountains :)

How folded mountain ranges form?
lithosphere plates collide forming the folded mountains!
What happens and what forms when 2 continental plates collide?
When two continental plates collide they buckle up and fold forming mountains.
What is formed when two ocean plate collide?
When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.
What is it called when 2 plates are forced together forming a mountain?
a convergent boundary
What type of mountain is formed when two plates collide?

A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a?
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a convergent boundary. It is also known as destructive plate boundary.
What is created when there is a continental-continental collision?
Both plates collide and lift upward, forming moutains or mountain ranges.
Are any mountain forming today?
mountains form as tectonic plates ( plates that constantly move under ground) collide and shoot upward, so yes.

What happens to Rocks when plates collide?
When two plates collide, or come together, the plates will push upward, forming a mountain. If one plate is continental crust and the other is oceanic crust, the less dense crust (this being the oceanic) will actually move under the more dense crust, in a process called subduction, to form a deep-ocean trench.
What landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.
The most common way for mountain to form is when?
The most common way for mountains to form is when two lithospheric plates collide. This can cause volcanism and folding of rocks in the crust forming mountain belts.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.

When tectonic plates collide and the direction of the forces is primarily perpendicular, the plates push up forming a mountain. The Himalayan Mountains are formed by the collision of two plates and are still growing. The summit of Mount Everest is, in fact, marine limestone.
