The most poignant examples of mountain building can be seen if you can get a good physical map that shows mountains in relief.
Have a look at the way India has crumpled up Asia, creating the Himalayas.
Second best is how Italy has crumpled up the Alps as it butts against Switzerland. Actually, Italy is just a part of the much larger African Plate that is doing the northerly movement, whereas India is sitting in its own mini tectonic plate.
