Here in New Zealand, the Southern Alps are caused by the Pacific Plate thrusting underneath the Australian Plate.
i think that the alps were created by a convergent boundry. But with two convintal plates causing an upward push of both.Example __><__ _/\_
African
The Alps are on the Eurasian Plate.
The Jura Mountains are part of the same orogeny as the Alps, which are being formed by the collision between the African an Eurasian plates.
Trenches are formed at convergent plate boundaries involving at least one oceanic plate, where the more dense plate subducts under the less dense plate.
landform created bye the convergence of two continental plates
The Swiss Alps were formed millions of years ago through the collision of tectonic plates. The collision caused the Earth's crust to fold and push upward, creating the majestic mountain range we see today. Glaciers also played a role in shaping the landscape through erosion and deposition over time.
African
Im not a geologist but I would think that Europe and MAYBE Africa formed them. I reason that Europe formed them because Alps are from there, and Africa might have had some tectonic influence.
They are formed by the continental contienal plates
The Alps were formed as a result of plate movements of the Earth's crust. Africa pushed north into Europe, and as a result the Alps formed. This is still happening, and the Alps are still rising.
The alps are made of snow, rock and ice !!!
It was caused by the collision and subsequent thickening and uplift of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates.
They were formed when the African Plate and the Eurasian plate collided. The crust buckeld and thickend creating the mountains. They were formed when the African Plate and the Eurasian plate collided. The crust buckeld and thickend creating the mountains.
The Atlas Mountains. They formed when Africa's and Europe's tectonic plates collided. That also formed the Mediterranean Sea and the Alps.
The Alps are on the Eurasian Plate.
The Jura Mountains are part of the same orogeny as the Alps, which are being formed by the collision between the African an Eurasian plates.
The Southern Alps mountain range in New Zealand is estimated to be around five million years old. This range was formed through the collision of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, resulting in the uplift of the mountains.
