Yes, there are fold mountains.
What type of mountains are produced by ocean ocean convergence?
Mountains like the Andes, fold mountains with Volcanoes,.
What two different types of convergent boundaries occur?
Type - SubductionFeature - Trenches or Volcanic mountainsType - CollisionFeature - Folded mountains
What is the most common type of mountain?
Folded (fold) mountains are the most common.
What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
Why earthquakes common in the belt of young fold mountains?
because this are the young mountains that recently formed in the earth.

young fold mountains are like Himalayas, the Alps and man other.
What are four things that can happen at plate boundaries?
volcanoes,mid ocean ridges,fold mountains and hot spots
What does compression do to rock layers?
fold mountains form
Why fold mountains are formed along destructive plate margins?
Both fold mountains and ocean trenches result from plates moving together.If both landforms occur in the same area, they are found in association with subduction on a destructive plate boundary(e.g: The Andes Mountains, Western coast of South America).The Andes formed from the Nazca plate subducting under the South American plate. The continental plate crumples and folds. The result is a fold mountain range. The Andes is formed.If fold mountains occur by themselves, they are in areas where collision is taking place on a collisional plate boundary(e.g: The Himalayas).The Himalayas formed from two continental plates which collided into one another- The Indo-Australian plate collided into the Eurasian plate. They crumple and fold. The result is a fold mountain range. The Himalayas is formed.Either way, the sequence relating to their formation is similar.Hope this helped :)
