Do folded mountains form at convergent boundaries where two plates collide?

Yes, because of the huge compressional forces when two plates collide. This can happen at either a continental-continental boundary or a continental-oceanic boundary.


What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?

this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
