You're too hung up on this plate tectonics issue. If you look at the web page, it actually SAYS that mountains were created by upheaval of the earth when plates collide. It goes on to say that after they are created, they provide a stabilizing effect on the land.
As for your question about "shocks" -- again from the site:
So... you're supporting the notion that the eruption of volcanoes has a "stabilizing effect on the land"?
That seems odd to me.
