pine mountain was formed by a constructive force. earth's plates colliding created pine mountain.
A basic mountain should be formed from the collision of continental crust and oceanic crustAnswerWhen an oceanic and a continental crust collide, the heavier oceanic crust tends to subduct under the lighter continental crust. Because of the collision and corresponding compression and also because of volcanism related to dehydration and melting of the subducted plate a mountain range is formed. The Andes mountain range is a, if not the, most typical example.
A mountain range can be formed by the collision of an oceanic plate and a continental plate. This creates a subduction zone which eventually leads to the formation of a range of mountains.
The Himalayas is an example of a mountain range formed when two plates collided. It was formed upon the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Technically, a volcano is a type of mountain. Mountains are formed by two continental tectonic plates colliding. The compressing plates forms folds in the crust, and if no or a small amount of erosion has occurred to wear down these folds, they continue to rise and break to form a mountain, which build on top of each other and form mountain ranges. (Lots of mountains) Volcanoes are formed by a continental plate and an oceanic plate colliding, where the denser oceanic plate undergoes 'subduction' and slips under the less dense continental plate. The heat and pressure from the oceanic plate causes uplifting of magma from the earth's mantle, which rises to the surface, therefore creating a volcano. There has to be a crack in the crust so a volcano can form and for the magma to rise through, while mountains are the crumpling of two landmasses. However, volcanoes may also later become mountains if they become completely dormant and no more lava (magma ).
Fold mountains.
The type of mountain that is formed by colliding continents is the upward mountain.
An oceanic plate colliding with a continental plate formed the Sierra Nevada. That collision is no longer happening, though, as that oceanic plate. the Farallon Plate, is mostly gone, with remnants to the north and south.

by tectonic plates colliding
They were formed by the colliding of the tectonic plates during the break-up of the Super Continent.
two plates of equal weight colliding
A mountain range can be formed by the collision of an oceanic plate and a continental plate. This creates a subduction zone which eventually leads to the formation of a range of mountains.

In theory, tectonic plates. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html
Mountains are formed when two plates collide,They both push upwards and create a mountain.
