Question

Which plate boundary and movement commonly create non-volcanic mountains? Explain how non-volcanic mountains are created by plate tectonics.

Answer 1

Non volcanic mountains are created at convergent boundaries between two continental crusts. this happens when one plate subducts under another and causes stress on the plates, allowing one to rise and fold up.

on the other hand, volcanic mountains are created at convergent boundaries as well, except at least one of the plates must be oceanic. this is because the water is the crust helps create the volcanism.
