Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?
The Nazca and the South American plates are colliding forming the Andes Mountain.
The boundary formed between 2 plates that are colliding?
a mountain forms
Two continental plates colliding at a convergent boundary will often form?
mountain ranges
What is plate collision?
A collision boundary is two plates colliding at each other creating a subduction zone. The heavier/slower plate dives 20-60 degrees down from the surface and the lighter/faster plate is crushed and forms folded mountains along the boundary.
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
What is the boundary between plates that are colliding?
you will get a covergent
The kind of plates that cause mountains to form?
colliding plates
What can result from two plates in earths lithosphere colliding at a converging boundary?
mountains are made. from a fifth grader i look it up in my science book.
What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
The place where 2 plates come together is known as?
colliding boundary
Where do mountains occur?
mountains occur where tectonic plates collideWhen they rub against each otherPlus it could be caused by two continental plates colliding as well.they occur mostly where 2 tectonic plates of the same crust (Continental or oceanic) met together at a conservative boundary (at a boundary where they both collide and go upwards) this is why mountains keep on growing, because the plates don't stop pushing.
What is the geographical location of the mountains Describe them briefly?
Mountains usually occur at the boundary between two of the Earth's tectonic plates that are colliding. This occurs famously in India/Pakistan where the Indian subcontinent is moving north into the Asian plate forming the Himalayan mountain chain.
What is usually formed as a result of a collision between plates along a boundary?
mountains or earthquakes
What created the Himalayan mountains?
Two tectonic plates colliding .
What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?
The Nazca and the South American plates are colliding forming the Andes Mountain.
What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
