When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, The oceanic plate goes under the Continental plate, creating friction deep in the earth, where the plates are rubbing against each other, creating magma, which rises to the surface and creates volcanic mountain ranges. The Andes mountain range is an example. I don't know if this will help you at all.
Fold mountains are formed from continental to continental plate collisions.
Himalayan, Appalachian, Alpine
The Himalayas where Everest is

An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
Oceans do not collide but oceanic crustal plates can collide, and when they do collide, island arcs are formed along the subduction zone.
AnswerNo. it never has been.
Yes it does. The heat released is a result of the energy of molecules moving and colliding with each other.
Fold mountains are created by uplift and folding of tectonic plates as they move towards each other and collide. This is known as a compressional plate margin. An example is the Andes Mountain range in South America(Nazca Plate colliding with the South American Plate). Mountain ranges can also be formed from volcanoes and the eruption of lava. The mid-ocean ridge system forms the longest continuous mountain range on the planet. The ridges are formed of newly created buoyant crust which gradually sinks as it cools and becomes more dense while moving away from the divergent plate boundary.
two plates of equal weight colliding
A mountain is formed when a subterranean plate (tectonic plate) in the earth pushes up through the mantle and crust as a result of two plates colliding or the pressure of molten rock. it can also be formed by volcanic activity.
It is believed that the River Ganga was formed about 50 million years ago. The river is a result of the two continents Asia and India colliding.
In Europe: the Alps, in the Americas: the Andes.
yes
sedimentary rock
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
An earthquake is a result of tectonic plates colliding.
ocean-continent convergence
No. Table Mountain is a mesa. It formed as a result of an erosion-resistant layer of sandstone at its top protecting the layers below.
it is Andes
