Folded mountains. These are formed when tectonic plates clashed together and formed in and up.
The tectonic plate boundaries come together and push up on each other to form mountains.
Folded mountains are found all over the world, with major examples including the Rockies in North America, the Alps in Europe, and the Himalayas in Asia. These mountains form as a result of tectonic plate movement, where layers of rock are uplifted and folded due to compression forces.
Folded mountains. These are formed when tectonic plates clashed together and formed in and up.
Folded mountain regions are created when tectonic plates collide, causing the crust to buckle and fold. Over time, erosion further shapes the mountains into their distinctive ridges and valleys. Examples of old folded mountain regions include the Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Caledonian Mountains in Europe.
The tectonic plates pushing each other cause mountain ranges. Like when a towel is folded, you get the ridges. That's exactly what happens.
Folded mountains typically form at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. The intense pressure and compression during the collision cause the rock layers to bend and fold, resulting in the formation of folded mountain ranges. Examples of folded mountain ranges include the Alps in Europe and the Himalayas in Asia.
well a folded up mountain is a mountain that has been folded up. pretty simple come on
A continental-continental convergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move against together, creating folded mountain ranges.
Folded Mountain range.
No, Mount St. Helens is not a folded mountain. It is a volcanic mountain located in the Cascade Range in the state of Washington, USA. The mountain was formed from the accumulation of volcanic materials and the eruption of magma from the earth's crust.
