hot spot volcanoes such as the Hawaiian island chain.
fault block mountain
pine mountain was formed by a constructive force. earth's plates colliding created pine mountain.
Convergent plate boundaries.
fault-block
when plate boundaries converge folded mountains are formed.

hot spot volcanoes such as the Hawaiian island chain.
One example is when the Indian Plate crashed into the European plate. As the Indian plate was driven beneath the European plate, the Himalayas was formed and is still increasing in height.
The type of mountain that is formed by colliding continents is the upward mountain.
constructive plate boundaries cause volcanoes.
Depends on the type of tectonic plate. If it is two continental plates, usually a mountain range will be formed and the plates will 'lock' together due to their thickness. The Indian sub-continent colliding with the eurasian plate is one example. If an oceanic plate is subducting under a continental plate an island arc can be formed or mountain range such as Japan and the Andies mountains respectively. This type is also where volcanoes will be commonly found unlike the collision of two continental plates, due to the magma formed from the subduction of the oceanic plate. If two oceanic plates collide, usually form an oceanic mountain range and lock together similar to the continental plates.

Mount Fuji, which is found in Japan is a type of island-arc volcano. It was formed by three plates, the Philippine plate, Eurasian plate and Okhotsk plate.
Folded mountains. These are formed when tectonic plates clashed together and formed in and up.
