How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
What are mountains associated with convergent plate boundaries?
The mountains that are associated with convergent plate boundaries are mountain ranges or mountain belts. Examples of a mountain range is the Andes.
What geographic feature occurs along two continental convergent plates?
The answer is mountain ranges
Two continental plates colliding at a convergent boundary will often form?
mountain ranges
What major landform is made when two continental plates converge?
Volcanoes and Mountain Ranges.
What continental mountain ranges are usually associated with?
Some continental mountain ranges are usually associated with forming as a result of tectonic plate collisions or convergent boundaries. These processes involve the plates pushing against each other, leading to the uplift of the Earth's crust and the formation of mountain ranges. Examples include the Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, and the Rocky Mountains in North America.
Which mountain ranges was the result continental continental convergence?
The Andes
What is the cause for mountain ranges?
continental drifts
Which mountain ranges was not the result of continental convergence?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.
Why does Africa not have continental-scale mountain range?
Africa does have mountain ranges. The mountain ranges run from the Dead Sea in Israel, which is not part of Africa, to Switzerland.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
What causes a mountain ranges?
Mountains are formed by tectonic plate movement, which can result in plates colliding, pulling apart, or sliding past each other. When plates collide, the immense pressure causes the earth's crust to be forced upward, forming mountain ranges. Additionally, volcanic activity can also contribute to the formation of mountains when lava and ash build up over time.
What are the western mountain ranges in the us?
sierra Nevada, continental divide
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
Mountain ranges did not form as a result of continent collision?
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
What is created when there is a continental-continental collision?
Both plates collide and lift upward, forming moutains or mountain ranges.
What two western mountain ranges in the US?
sierra Nevada, continental divide
