The ural mountais formed as a result of the collision of Europe with asiathe urals are therefore most likely to be?
The Ural mountains formed as a result of the collision of Europe with Asia and are folded mountains. Fold mountains are mountain ranges that are formed when two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust push together at their border. The extreme pressure forces the edges of the plates upwards into a series of folds.
Are the Appalachian mountains in Greenland and western Europe?
The Appalachian Mountains are located in the eastern United States. The Appalachian Mountains, mountains in Greenland and those in western Europe (the Scottish Highlands) have similar rock layers. This similarity in rock layers was noted by Alfred Wegener and used as evidence to support his hypothesis of continental drift.
Similar rock structures exist in the Appalachian Mountains and in Greenland and western Europe?
True. This is all because of continental drift
Are there any mountains in West Europe?
There are many mountain ranges in western Europe and so there are hundreds of mountains.
What forms the alpine mountains in Europe?
The Alps are in Central/Western Europe.
