It would cause a mountain range and possibly volcanoes in that mountain range.

Can a collision of two continental plates create a mountain range?
Yes, the collision of the tectonic plates due to internal disturbance can lead to the formation of mountain range because of there sliding over one another.
Collision of a continental and oceanic plate causes this in the plates?
compression
Mountain formation can result when what occurs?
When subduction occurs at points of plates collision.
What is a common result of the collision of two continental plates?
A range of very high mountains.
How a collision between continental plates can result in the formation of metamorphic rock?
Metamorphism of existing rock through collisions of continental plates occurs from directional pressures along with heat from friction and depth of burial. The pressure and heat can cause recrystallization of existing minerals, new mineral crystal formation, and mineral realignment in the metamorphosed rock.
What is a collision of plates carrying continental rock form?
Mountains
How collision between continental plates can result in the formation of metamorphic rock?
its funny because im looking for that answer too ._.
Is it true that mountains form as a result of a collision between two continental plates?
That is one method of mountain formation, yes.
Can a collision of two continental plates create a mountain range?
Yes, the collision of the tectonic plates due to internal disturbance can lead to the formation of mountain range because of there sliding over one another.
Collision of a continental and oceanic plate causes this in the plates?
compression
What is it called when continental plates collide?
Collision...
What is the definition of the word continental collision?
Continetal collision is when 2 different tectonic plates collide i believe.
What type of landform is created by the collision of continental?
When two Continental plates collide, both plates lift upward and it can form mountains or mountain chains.
What does the collision of a continental plate and an oceanic plate produce?
when two plates collide they form trenches.
How can the collision of plates lead to the formation of sedimentary rock?
Collisions of plates cause rock particles to fall and go through the process of deposition the compaction and finally cementation where it finally becomes a sedimentary rock
How does a collision between continental plates can result in the formation of a metamorphic rock?
The collision of contiental plate places rocks under enormous pressure, greater than can be produced from burial alone. This extreme pressure leads to high grades of metamorphism.
Mountain formation can result when what occurs?
When subduction occurs at points of plates collision.
