The Andes Mountain Range is a result of the Nazca Plate subducting under the South American Plate.
The Nazca plate (a continental plate) and the South American plate (an oceanic plate) collided to form the Andes Mountains.

the mountains formed by folding cause of tectonic plates
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.
shifting tectonic plates cause continents to move a few inches every year. also, if the plates start rubbing against each other, they can cause severe earthquakes. plates hitting and pushing toward each other can form mountains or volcanoes.
they are plates that the earth's crust is divided up into they cause earthquakes when slide together, create mountains when pushed together, and created trenches when pulled apart for more information type this question in: tectonic plates help more info
mountains can shrink and grow. they can grow because tectonic plates crash and push upward so the mountain is higher. weathering and erosion cause mountains to shrink.
No. It is the collision between two tectonic plates that can cause mountains. For example: when the Indian plate collided into the European plate, the Himalayan mountains were formed.
The collision of two tectonic plates can create huge mountains. This collision will often cause the violet upheaval of earth that creates mountains and valleys.
sliding,seperating,and colliding plates and tectonic plate . Tectonic plates are the one which cause earthquakes
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
Yes, they are what cause earthquakes, mountains and volcanoes.
Because tectonic plates move, therefore if the continent is on it, it moves with it!
No, convection currents in the upper mantle cause tectonic plates to move.
