When two plates push up against each other, they form a mountain. The mid-atlantic ridge is the longest mountain range is the largest mountain range in the world and is under water.When two plates shift against each other, that causes an earthquake. When one plate goes underneath another, that forms a volcano (because it touches the lava, which causes it to go upward, and the other plate--the one on top-- slowly weakens and just goes along with it all). Answer your question? ;)

Not quite you didn't. I'll give you 5/10. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a spreading ridge, or constructive plate margin, along the junctions of plates pulling AWAY from each other, NOT colliding.
The plate-plate friction in subduction does give earthquakes, yes, thanks to the consequent stick-slip motion. The tremor is the vibrations of the slip.
The subducted plate partially melts, yes, but in the upper Mantle, not the "lava", from Mantle heat and frictional heat. This sends great globules of molten rock upwards through the continental crust, undergoing complex physical and chemical changes on their way, but this rock does not become lava unless and until ejected in volcanic eruptions.

What are mountains that are formed by pushing plates together?
Mountain ranges formed by the pushing together of tectonic plates are called fold mountains. Examples include the Himalayas and the Alps, where the collision of plates has caused the Earth's crust to fold and create towering mountain peaks.
These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
Folds in earths crust form mostly?
Well, mountains are formed mostly with folding and sometimes with volcanic eruptions. MOUNT EVERST was formed by the folding of the ocean. Folding is when the earth's crustal plates start to push together to form a mountain.
How does a mountain form?
There are several ways. It depends on what sort of mountain your talking about. Mountains form due to the movement of tectonic plates under the earths crust. for example there is a compresional plate boundary where the plates move together. --><-- This will form a cone mountain/volcano. Mountains can also form from erosion or water. If a stream is created, then after years it will disintegrate dirt and could leave a higher mound, which over a large amount of time, could create a mountain.
Could the collision of one continental plate with another may produce oceans?
Yes, the collision of continental plates can result in the formation of mountains, but not oceans. When two continental plates collide, their edges crumple and push upward to form mountain ranges. Oceans are typically formed from the separation of plates, when oceanic crust is pulled apart allowing magma to rise and form new crust.
When plates push together compression causes the ground to form what mountain?
stromboli mountains
How do most mountains form?
when tectonic plates under the surface collide together and push up
How can the movement of tectonic plates create a mountain?
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
How are hill made?
The Earth is made of giant plates of the Earth's crust. When these push together, they form hills and mountains.
What are mountains that are formed by pushing plates together?

How do mountains and volcanos form?
when to different plates push up to form a volcano
How can mountains form?
lay a piece of paper flat on a table. place your hands on both ends of the paper then push them together. the paper raises up in the middle, much like mountains do when tectonic plates push against each other.
Why do certain plate boundaries not create mountains?
Mountains are created when plates push against each other, some plates pull apart, or rub together instead.
These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
What mountains form from pools of magma that accumulate underground and push up on crustal plates?
dome
What are plates that push together called?
when two plates push together, it could either cause mountains or a subduction zone. When they cause mountains it's when two
How are mountains formed at convergent plate boundrys?
When plates converge, they crash together and push dirt up. With giant plates, they push up mountains. Take some dirt. Take two rulers. Put the dirt between the rulers. Now, push the rulers together. What happens to the dirt? The only way it can go is straight up. That also happens to the dirt between plates.
