What landforms are formed due to plate movement?

Answer 1

The landforms that are created when tectonic plates move are:

• Fold Mountains - Fold mountains are created when two plates collide causing the land to ripple upwards.
• Rift Valleys - Rift valleys are formed when plates move apart. They happen because the crust is stretched so much that it causes cracks to develop. This is known as rifting.
• Ocean Trenches - Are formed when a oceanic plate pushes another oceanic plate down to form a trench. They are very deep & form just off the continent.

Answer 2

the rocky mountains were created by convergence , the san Andreas fault is effected by transformation and the Grand Canyon was created by divergence, all three (convergence, transformation and divergence) are processes of plate tectonics.

convergence- plates slide into each other over-lapping

divergence- plates slide away from each other

transformation- plates grind past each other, often causing earthquakes and tremors

Answer 3

Canions and volcano's, the volcano's would be the original formation as the molten magma will fire up and cause a hill/mountain on the surface (a volcano as hot magma will be underneith) eventually after constant pulling away a canion will be formed (or a ridge if under the sea)

Answer 4

Mountains and Hills

Answer 5

graet dividing range and volcanoes

Answer 6

moving plates make earthquakes
