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 land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?

this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
