What happens when two continental plates meet at a convergent boundary according to plate tectonics

They push against each other to form folded mountain ranges.

Explanation:

Impact between two mainland plates crunches and creases the stone at the limit, prompting the arrangement of mountains and mountain ranges.

For instance, Himalayas were framed by the crash of the Indian and Eurasian Plates. That is occurred around 40 to 50 million years back.

When two continental plates meet they push against each other and form mountain ranges with their folding, once one of the plates tend to go under the other, pushing the second plate upwards. A collision between two continental tectonics plates have such an enormous energy and mass involved that their convergence crunches and folds their boundaries, leading to rocky formations of mountains and mountain ranges. While older mountains today have already been eroded and show considerably smaller peaks, more recent formations like the Himalayas, formed around 40 to 50 million years ago, due to the Indian and Eurasian plates collision have higher peaks.
