What two plates collided to make the Ural Mountains?

The Ural Mountains were formed by the collision of the Eurasian Plate and the smaller Kazakh Plate. This tectonic activity occurred during the late Paleozoic era, around 300 million years ago, primarily as a result of the continental collision that led to the uplift of the mountain range. The collision caused significant geological changes, resulting in the formation of a prominent range that separates Europe and Asia.
