Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
Colliding means to come into contact with another object with force and impact, usually resulting in a physical impact or violent contact. It can refer to objects, people, or even ideas clashing or meeting unexpectedly.
When plates with continental crust push together, they form convergent boundaries. The collision results in the crumpling and uplift of the crust, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Subduction may also occur where one plate is forced beneath the other, creating deep oceanic trenches and volcanic activity.
It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
A perfectly inelastic collision occurs when objects stick together after colliding, resulting in their combined mass moving together at the same velocity. This type of collision involves the maximum loss of kinetic energy.
If the plates are moving together from opposite directions, the colliding edges will uplift into mountain ranges. If the plates are moving apart, a rift valley will form. If the plates are moving together at oblique angles, a fault zone will occur.
The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. These boundaries are characterized by plates colliding and often resulting in tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
