Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.

The mountain range extending along the northern frontier of India was formed as the result of a collision of the Indian subcontinent and what other continent?
The Himalayas.
Which mountain ranges was not the result of continental convergence?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was not the result of continental convergence. Instead, it is a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is forming as tectonic plates move apart.
What is the result of collision with two sections of the continental crust?
mountain formation
Which mountain ranges was the result continental continental convergence?
The Andes
Mountain formation can result when what occurs?
When subduction occurs at points of plates collision.
What are Hawaii's mountain ranges and deserts?
Hawaii has no true deserts nor does it have mountain ranges. All mountains in Hawaii are volcanic in origin and not the result of normal tectonic mountain building.
Can Isostatic adjustments occur as a result of the erosion of mountain ranges?
Yes.
What mountain chain formed in Chile as a result of the collision of the two plates?
The Andes Mountains
What one of these mountain belts was NOT formed by a continental collision?
The Sierra Nevada and the Tetons are among the mountain ranges formed by means other than tectonic movement. Many mountain ranges are formed by fault block shifts up and down as well as sculpting by erosion, volcanoes and glaciers. The mountains that we see are most often the result of many complex interactions over long periods of time.
What process are mountain ranges and belts built through?
Mountain ranges and belts are built through a process called orogenesis
Is Mt Everest volcanic?
AnswerNo. it never has been.
Which landform results from divergence of continental crust?
divergence of continental crust create rift zones e.g.east african rift valley.firstly,divergence will create updoming of the area.after that step faulting will take place and that will result in narrow linear sea formation like red sea.finally separation of land and ocean ridge will occur.
