Constructive because two tectonic plates pushed together and pushed it up.
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
Earthquakes are pates shaking in the ground. The Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. These plates sometimes move. Between the Earth's crust and the mantle is a substance called magma which is made of rock and gases. When two plates collide, one section slides on top of the other, the one beneath is pushed down. Magma is squeezed up between two plates.
After the super continent of Laurasia broke up millions of years ago, India moved slowly north towards Asia and then crashed into it. The seabed between the two plates (the earth's crust is divided into large areas of land called plates) was crumbled and pushed up on the northern rim of India to form mountains. These two plates of the earth's crust are still moving, so the Himalayas are being pushed up higher. They were formed in the last few million years
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.
Plate tectonics
An earthquake happens then a fault line is made
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.
an earthquake
When plates move apart or diverge, it is called a normal fault (happens along a divergent boundary). When plates collide or converge, a reverse fault occurs (when the hanging wall pushes up, and the foot wall pushes down). When plates slide past each other, it is called a strike-slip fault, which typically occurs at a transform plate boundary.Also, if you are still having doubts, do more research on strike-slip faults, normal faults, and reverse faults by just typing it in.

Converging tectonic plates pushed together and they bent and pushed up word causing the mountains to be formed.

Plates pushed together makes mountains therefore plates pulled apart makes volcanos
Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.
