What is a sudden movement along the boundary of a tectonic plate?
This condition is called an earthquake.
How do mid-ocean ridges work?
Two tectonic plates move apart, allowing for geologic activity along the boundary that slowly build a ridgeline along the bottom of the ocean.
Does Terrane accretion generally occurs along a divergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate?
false
How do mountains form where continental plates collide?
They form because of stresses put on the continental plate, forcing it to crumple. The effect of rising is furthered by the oceanic plate forcing it upwards, and by the melted material also pushing upwards, which is why these ranges also tend to be volcanic. An example is the Andes
Volcanoes most commonly form where?
volcanos mostly form on tectonic plate boundaries and hot stops
Does a rift valley form along a colliding boundary?
No, it would form along a separating (divergent) tectonic plate boundary.
The Continental Divide is located along the top of which mountains?
The North American Continental Divide is located along the top of the Rocky Mountains.
What is a sudden movement along the boundary of a tectonic plate?
This condition is called an earthquake.
What mountain range does the Continental Divide run through?
The continental divide you are most likely referring to is that of the Americas, known as the Continental Divide of the Americas or simply the Great Divide. In North America, it runs along the Rocky Mountains, but in South America, it runs along the Andes.
Where is the continental divide along which top mountains?
The Continental Divide separates the Pacific and Atlantic watersheds in the main part of the United States. It runs along the top of the Rocky Mountains.

What types of plates boundary exists today along the Himalayas?
Indo-Austrailan and the Eurasian Plates Stay in School Kids
What type of plate boundary is found along the West Coast of Central America?
a tectonic plate fault-
Split by the Rocky Mountains?
The Continental Divide. Correct. Look on an atlas, or as you travel along any latitude in the US, there will be highway signs along the way that mark your crossing of the Continental Divide (all along the longitude degrees, so as you travel east to west or west to east, you will see a sign as you cross the Continental Divide).
The Continental Divide sits along the rocky mountains and seperates the flow of rivers explain where the water drains on both sides of the divide?
the continental divides sit along the rocky mountains and seperates the flow of rivers
What geologic formations would probably be found along the boundary where two tectonic plates meet?
Faultlines, Volcanoes, or Sinkholes
In south America the Continental Divide runs along what coast?
the pacific coast
