Question

Answer 1

constructive; mountains

Answer 2

Compression process

Formation of mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

Squeezing together of two plates is known as compression. It leads to buckling and uplifting of rock masses. Compressive forces acts concentrated at a point. Usually, this form of collision is usually observed along a convergent margin in which two plates are squeezed together and both leads to upbuilding as none of the plate goes or slides beneath another.

This usually leads to the formation of mountains and highlands. The Himalayas is a product of such form of compressive forces.
