What types of mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
volcanic mountains
What three things happen to plates at the boundaries?
earthquakes,volcanoes,and mountains form
Are the highest elevations on earth located at the plate boundaries or in the middle of the plates?
Mountains usually form on plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide and force the ground upward. There are very few volcanic mountains, such as the Hawaiian Islands, that form in the middle of the plates.
How mountains form at plate boundaries?
mountains are made when the crust folds, tilts ,and lifts as a result of this meeting of plates.
What type of plate movement creates folding mountains?
Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.
What type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where to oceanic plates meet?
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.
What type of boundaries form fold mountains?
landform created bye the convergence of two continental plates
What type os mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
continental arc
Where do mountains form?
Well convergent boundaries form mountains, but where do mountains form within the boundary? They start under the ocean and come up when the plates come together. So therfore they form under the ocean.
What plate boundaries form mountains?
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
Boundaries between plates?
There are 3 main types of boundaries between plates: Convergent- when two plates are coming together (mostly form mountains) Divergent- when two plates are moving apart (mostly form rift valleys) Transform- when two plates slide past one another (also called strike-slip)
