That would depend on the location on Earth that you were moving west to east along. The movement from west to east can be undertaken anywhere on Earth.
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
Folded mountains, like those of Himalayas and Alphs, are formed when the earth tectonic plates crush together at their borders. This is usually after a lot of pressure is exerted on the edges of these plates upwards leading to the formation of the mountainous folds.
some features caused by plate tectonics would be folded and faulted mountain chains. subduction zones are also some important features caused by plate tectonics. the oceanic crust goes underneath the continental crust creating a subduction zone at the plate boundaries.parvaiz mansoori
lithosphere plates collide forming the folded mountains!
Both I think.
Mount Everest is made up of sedimentary rocks.
Structural highs (e.g. mountains) are created by uplift. The uplifted rocks are commonly heavily folded and faulted as a result of uplift.

The western metamorphic belt occurs along the northwestern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is characterized by a band of faulted and folded metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Paleozoic and Mesozic age.
The sequences of sedimentary rocks in cratons are typically thin and are relatively undeformed or gently warped. The sequences in mountain belts, meanwhile, are thick and extensively folded and faulted.

Always, with an (folded) extra bag in my bag!
The Valley and Ridge province typically has folded and faulted sedimentary rocks, such as limestone and shale, creating a series of parallel ridges and valleys. These formations are the result of geological processes like mountain-building and erosion over millions of years.
The Cordillera is a system of parallel mountain ranges that are typically made up of folded and faulted rocks, such as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. These mountain ranges are often associated with tectonic plate boundaries and are characterized by high elevations, rugged terrain, and significant geological activity.
crustal movement occurring after deposition
The Western Cordillera in North America is a mountainous region that includes the Rockies, Coast Ranges, and Sierra Nevada. It is geologically complex, with a mix of folded and faulted mountains and volcanic activity. The region is also known for its diverse ecosystems, such as temperate rainforests and alpine tundra.
