Mountain formation can result when what occurs?
When subduction occurs at points of plates collision.
Which of the following plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain range?
two pieces of continental crust meeting at a convergent boundary
Compare contact thermal metamorphism and regional dynothermal metamorphism and the types of rocks that result from each?
Contact metamorphism occurs locally, next to igneous intrusions and along fractures that were in contact with hydrothermal fluids. Regional metamorphism occurs over very large areas, such as deep within the cores of rising mountain ranges, and generally occurs with the folding of rock layers. Both result in the formation of metamorphic rocks.
How can groundwater erosion result in the formation of a sinkhole?
When too much erosion occurs in a cave the of the cave will collapse and create a sinkhole.
How do faults result in the formation of mountains?
Faults result in the formation of mountains due to the movements associated with plate tectonics. As two plates interact, one may end up being thrust high into the air, forming a mountain.

What is the result of collision with two sections of the continental crust?
mountain formation

The formation of polymers from monomers occurs as a result of what?
condensation reactions

What happened to the famous rock formation in New Hampshire in 2003?
The Old Man of the Mountain broke apart as the result of erosion.
Erosion on a mountain range that was pushed up as a result of two continental plates colliding will lead to the formation of?
sedimentary rock
Is it true that mountains form as a result of a collision between two continental plates?
That is one method of mountain formation, yes.
What occurs when a new organism formed from the same organism?
Occurs when a new organism is formed from the same organism
When does an embryo get arms and legs?
As a result of interactions between the ectoderm and underlying mesoderm, formation occurs around the fourth week of development.
