Well, 2 plates move towards eachother, face on and one must belt up... thus creating a fold mountain
No, the rocky mountains were not formed on a destructive plate. That is wrong, they are fold mountains, they were formed on a weakening in the plate, and millions of years ago the plate was under pressure and then it buckled and the Rockies were formed.
Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
Fold mountains are formed due to the collision of plates and earth movements.
The Jura Mountains and the Zagros Mountains are examples of the fold mountains. The fold mountain is formed as a result of the effects if the folding on layers within the upper part of the crust of the earth.
The Appalachian Mountains in North America are an example of old fold mountains. They were formed over 480 million years ago through the collision of tectonic plates and have since undergone erosion and weathering, giving them their characteristic gentle slopes and rounded peaks.

Yes, the mountains in northern Ethiopia are part of the Ethiopian Highlands, which are considered to be fold mountains. These mountains were formed by the movement of tectonic plates, resulting in the folding and uplifting of the Earth's crust.
Fold mountain or mountain chains are formed by the collisions between continental plates.
Destructive tectonic plates beneath the surface pushed up the earth there millions of years ago creating mountains
Old fold mountains are the mountains which were formed 50-60 million years ago. Young fold mountains are the ones formed comparatively new (30-40 million years ago). - answer by Subhrajyoti Sen
When forces inside the Earth push up the crust, fold mountains are formed. Examples of fold mountains include the Himalayas, the Alps, and the Andes. These mountains are typically characterized by long linear ridges and valleys.
