What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
Two continental plates colliding at a convergent boundary will often form?
mountain ranges
How were the Andes mountains and other mountain chains formed?
by tectonic plates colliding
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
How are fold mountains made?
Fold mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate subducts under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold like a rug being pushed into a wall.
What type of mountain is formed when the earths crust is squeezed together?
It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
What type of destructive force formed pine mountain?
pine mountain was formed by a constructive force. earth's plates colliding created pine mountain.
How mountain forms?
Mountains are formed when two plates collide,They both push upwards and create a mountain.
Mountain ranges are often formed as a result of?
two plates of equal weight colliding
What mountain range is an example of plates colliding?
The Himalayas is an example of a mountain range formed when two plates collided. It was formed upon the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
How did blue ridge mountain formed?
They were formed by the colliding of the tectonic plates during the break-up of the Super Continent.
