Question

When two lithosphere plates collide, it leads to formation of mountains and mountain ranges- Give reasons

Answer 1

Answer:

Sometimes, the two tectonic plates press up against each other, causing the land to lift into mountainous forms as the plates continue to collide. Another possibility is that one plate pushes on top of the other, sending it downward into the Earth! We call this a subduction zone.

Answer 2

Answer:

Its because whenever two plates collide, there is the formation of geosyncline, which is a kind of depression and slowly and steadily sediments get deposited in it and leads to sedimentation of the depression bed. which on further compressive forces leads to the folding of sediments and the structure of mountain and range of mountain get emerge.
