Mountains and volcanoes are formed when boundaries collide (a.k.a. convergent boundaries) volcanoes are formed at a subduction zone- mostly in the ocean. Mountains do NOT form at subduction zones.
Mountains form at (convergent and divergent) plate boundaries. Two plates can crash together and bend upward, forming a mountain, or lava can harden into rack and build up volcanoes which are mountains.
In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
One of the way is they move towards each other and converge,or collide
In plate tectonics, a Divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. These areas can form on the end of continents but eventually form ocean basins. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which produce rift valleys. Therefore, most active divergent plate boundaries are between oceanic platesand are often called mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill. Thus creating a shield volcano which would eventually build up to become a volcanic island.
it helps the scientists to predict future changes.
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
"Collide divide slide" is a phrase used to describe the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent (collide), divergent (divide), and transform (slide). Convergent boundaries are where plates come together, divergent boundaries are where plates move apart, and transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other.
when two plates collide together
Earth's plates meet at plate boundaries, which are the areas where tectonic plate movements interact. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries (where plates move apart), convergent boundaries (where plates collide), and transform boundaries (where plates slide past each other). These interactions lead to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
Convergent boundary
At collision, mountains, at separation, long deep holes into the earth.
Some plates are moving faster than others in plate tectonics because of differences in the forces acting on them. These forces can be influenced by the boundaries between plates, such as divergent boundaries where plates move apart, or convergent boundaries where plates collide. The speed of plate movement can also be affected by the temperature and composition of the rocks making up the plates.

Plate boundaries.
convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries and plate boundaries
The three types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
