Tectonic Plates pushing together form a mountain. Weathering can make the size or shape of a mountain.
What is the process of an an ocean plate meeting and pushing under a land plate called?
The process of an ocean plate meeting with land plate and pushing under is called subduction. This process causes serious mountain building and seismic activity.
How are mountain ranges formed by tectonic plates?
The plates are pushing together causing them to move up and form mountains
How do mountain landforms form?
mountains are formed by 2 plates pushing together so hard that they create a wrinkle in earths crust

The pushing forces of two plates moving together form which type of mountain?
It forms folded mountains
How are mountain ranges formed by tectonic plates?
The plates are pushing together causing them to move up and form mountains
What are the 2 causes of mountain formation?
When two plates collide and one of them folds up. Or When a large piece of rock is pushed up by two plates pushing together, forming a plateau. The folding method rarely forms only a few or one mountain because the plates are large, therefore creating a range.

How does volcano occur?
magma builds up under the earths crust pushing upwards. it keeps pushing until the earth splits creating a flow of lava. the lava builds up and solidifies outside the opening thus creating a small mountain of igneous rock. this keeps happening until it makes a larger mountain of rock. then it is a volcano. BAM
How was Nevis formed?
