Mountain Ranges
When tectonic plates collide, folds and faults can form. Folds occur when rocks are compressed and bend, while faults are fractures along which movement has occurred. These geological features are common at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic forces cause intense pressure and deformation in the Earth's crust.
When two tectonic plates collide, it can result in the formation of mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust. This process is known as continental collision and can lead to the creation of complex geological features, such as fold mountains and faults, as the plates push against each other.
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.

Tectonic plates
When two tectonic plates collide, it can result in the formation of mountain ranges due to the intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust. This process is known as continental collision and can lead to the creation of complex geological features, such as fold mountains and faults, as the plates push against each other.
Faults themselves don't move; they're cracks in between tectonic plates which do the moving. The plates move due to slow-moving convection currents underneath. It's basically slowly circulating magma that slowly pushes the plates along. As plates slide and collide with each other, they change the shape and position of the faults in between.

When tectonic plated collide they create an earthquake. It happens by them colliding and shaking each other forming a big movement.
tectonic movement can cause tectonic plates to collide, drift apart, or slide across one another
