What else can I help you with?
What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
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.
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.
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.
Mountain ranges are often formed as a result of?
two plates of equal weight colliding
How did blue ridge mountain formed?
They were formed by the colliding of the tectonic plates during the break-up of the Super Continent.
What mountain range has an oceanic plate and continental plate colliding?
Fold mountains.
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
If two continental plates converge a subduction zone forms?
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
What is at a convergent boundary where two continental plates are presently colliding?
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
What kind of mountains are the Rockies?
They are fold mountains as it is a mountain range. It is caused by either 2 continental plates or an oceanic and a continental plate colliding into each other.
