At a continental - continental convergent boundary FOLDED MOUNTAINS RESULTS.
A convergent boundary usually forms when there is collision of two continental plates, the plates are recrystallize in the process as a result of intense heat and pressure form the collision. Folded mountains are formed when two or more tectonic plates are pushed together. As the rocks undergo compression, they begin to form mountains above the earth surface. As time goes on, the depth of the continental crust increases as the mountain continue to grow above the earth surface.
