Answer:

When two plates collide head-on, they push each other up and form mountains. That's how the Himalayas and other great mountain ranges (including the Rockies, long ago) were created. When one plate dives below another plate, it creates a subduction zone as the diving plate is crushed and melted..

hope it helps...

Heya mate!▪️◼️

When two continental plates collide the crust is bunched up and a mountain range is formed. Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust. When two of these slabs of rock collide, neither of them will dive beneath the other as in the case when continental crust collides with oceanic crust.
