When continental plates collide, they typically create mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and uplift caused by their convergence. Since both plates are buoyant and of similar density, one plate does not subduct beneath the other. Instead, the collision results in complex geological formations, folding, and faulting of the Earth's crust. This process can also lead to increased seismic activity, including earthquakes.
