What type of boundary causes mountains?
Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan Mountains.
What is the name of the mountain range that form a natural border between France and Spain?
Nature has provided the Pyrenees Mountains as the boundary between France and Spain.
Can a convergent boundary turn into a divergent boundary?
Yes because divergent boundaries split apart and convergent boundaries make mountains so a mountain can split
What are the natural bounderies?
A natural boundary is a boundary that is defined by natural features, such as a strait, a mountain range etc.
What mountains were formed by a divergent boundary?
The Himalayas are formed at a continental-continental convergent boundary.The Andes are formed at an oceanic-continental boundary.
Which plate boundary is responsible for mountain building?
Convergent plate boundaries are responsible for mountain building. Continent-to-continent boundaries build mountains like the Himalayas. Continent-to-ocean boundaries build mountains like the Cascades. The difference is that continent-to-continent convergent boundaries do not produce volcanoes.
What mountain is the natural boundary between Europe and Asia?
There are actually two mountain ranges that act as a boundary, the Ural Mountains and the Caucuses.
Feature of mountains that is NOT a direct result of mountain building is?
Ripple marks are a feature of mountains that are not a direct result of mountain building.

What was the mountain range that formed the western boundary of the original United States?
The mountain range that formed the western boundary of the original states was the Appalachian Mountains. The mountains also extend into southeastern Canada.
What marks the western boundary of asia?
The Ural Mountains and the Ural River mark the western boundary of Asia.
What is the plate boundary of the Andes mountain?
A constructive plate boundary, as it pushes land upwards (which formed the mountains)
What is it called when a mountain is formed away from a convergence?
non boundary mountains
What mountain range acts as a boundary betwwen Europe and Asia?
The Ural mountains as well as the Caucus Mountains.
Why do mountains have mountain building?
it was made like that
What kind of boundary is the cascade range located at?
The Cascade Range is located at a convergent boundary, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This subduction causes volcanic activity and mountain building in the region.
What are the two mountain ranges that form part of the boundary between Europe and Asia?
The Ural Mountains and the Caucus Mountains.
