What else can I help you with?
Is Mt Mazama located on diverging plates?
No. Mount Mazama is associated with a subduction zone, which is formed by converging plates.
Ocean crust is formed where in the ocean?
New ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging (spreading apart).
When continental plates collide what types of mountains are formed?
fold mountains
How are residual mountains form?
Residual mountains are formed by the plates in the earth moving
What type of mountain are the Ural mountains?
Folded mountains. These are formed when tectonic plates clashed together and formed in and up.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What types of mountains are formed by volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
What type of plate movement causes fault-block mountains to form?
Fault-block mountains are formed by extensional forces that cause the Earth's crust to be stretched and pulled apart. As a result, blocks of crust slide up or down along faults, creating mountains with steep, rugged slopes.
The spreading of the ocean floor is what?
At the mid-ocean ridges, large underwater mountain ranges formed along diverging oceanic plates.
What are mountains that are formed by pushing plates together?
Mountain ranges formed by the pushing together of tectonic plates are called fold mountains. Examples include the Himalayas and the Alps, where the collision of plates has caused the Earth's crust to fold and create towering mountain peaks.
What surface feature is formed where two plates meet?
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
How fold mountains made?
Fold mountains are formed due to the collision of plates and earth movements.
