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.
Which of these California geologic features formed as the result of erosion by glaciers?
Yosemite Valley is a California geologic feature that formed as a result of erosion by glaciers. The glaciers carved out the U-shaped valley, leaving behind steep granite walls and beautiful waterfalls. Other examples include the glacially-carved cirques and hanging valleys in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Which process explains how rock that is now above ground in the Sierra Nevada formed?
Given userInput that was gotten from input, assign userInput with userInput divided by 2 and output the result, stopping after the result is less than 5.
Can a mountain be formed as a result of a volcano?
yes
Mountain ranges did not form as a result of continent collision?
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
What plates formed Sierra Madre Occidental?
These are the result of the collision between the North American, Pacific and Cocos plates.
Is table mountain a volcanic mountain?
No. Table Mountain is a mesa. It formed as a result of an erosion-resistant layer of sandstone at its top protecting the layers below.
Mountain ranges are often formed as a result of?
two plates of equal weight colliding
What mountain chain formed in Chile as a result of the collision of the two plates?
The Andes Mountains
Which mountain range formed as a result of plate motion around the Ring of Fire?
it is Andes
How was the Sierra Madre del Sur formed?
It is the result of the plate tectonics interaction between the North American Plate and the Cocos Plate.
How is a mountain formed on Earth?
A mountain is formed when a subterranean plate (tectonic plate) in the earth pushes up through the mantle and crust as a result of two plates colliding or the pressure of molten rock. it can also be formed by volcanic activity.
