Well The Euroasian plate and the African late i think
Non-volcanic mountains are caused when continental plates converge.
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
Oceanic-continental convergent boundary: Where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate. Continental-continental convergent boundary: Where two continental plates collide, causing intense folding and faulting to create mountain ranges. An example is the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, forming the Himalayas.
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a convergent boundary. It is also known as destructive plate boundary.
Mountains are created by the collision of tectonic plates, which are large pieces of the Earth's crust. When two plates push against each other, the land is forced upward, forming mountains.
The Andes are located on an active contintal margin and are still forming and the Appalachians are on a passive continental margin
There are mainly two kinds of mountains, namely fold mountains and block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when a continental plate collides with either another continental plate or an oceanic plate. One example of a continental-continental collision is the collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indo-Australian plate, forming the Himalayas fold mountains range which contains Mt. Everest and K2. One example of a oceanic continental collision is the collision of the Nazca plate and the South American plate, forming the Andes mountains. ---- Block mountains are formed when two plate diverge from each other and sink downwards, leaving a highland in the middle of them. That is a block mountain. You might find this useful, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains.
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, it results in the formation of coastal mountain ranges, such as the Andes in South America and the Cascades in North America. This collision causes the oceanic plate to subduct beneath the continental plate, leading to the uplift and deformation of the continental crust, forming high mountain ranges.
The Ural Mountains form the backbone of Russia.

yes

Yes, Fold mountains are actually formed by crust which have been uplifted and folded by compressional forces. This occurs along convergent plate boundaries where 2 plates move towards each other, between continental plates or between an oceanic and a continental plate. The crust and the rocks get bent and crumpled, and massive layers of Earth's crust gets uplifted as a result, forming spectacular fold mountains this is how the Andes are formed.
At a convergent plate boundary between two continental plates, the plates collide and neither plate is subducted due to their similar density. This collision results in the uplift of mountains and the formation of deep earthquake zones within the continental crust. The collision can also lead to folding, faulting, and the creation of large mountain ranges.
Mountain building, continental drift.
Both plates collide and lift upward, forming moutains or mountain ranges.
The Rocky Mountains starting forming when the Mesozoic era begun.
