The height of a mountain is 7735 meters. What is its height in kilometers?
It is: 7735/1000 = 7.735 kilometers
Subduction of oceanic crust at a continental margin creates .?
Ocean trenches and Island arcs.
A collision between two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary produces a?
Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.
How thick is the earth's curst?
The crust consists of two parts: the oceanic and the continental crust. All of these values vary slightly, of course, but oceanic crust is generally 4 - 7 miles (6 - 11 km) thick, whereas continental crust is much thicker, averaging 20 - 25 miles (30 - 40 km), reaching a maximum of 45 miles (70 km) beneath large mountain ranges (having to do with tectonics and isostacy, the "roots" of a mountain range).
What object can you measure in kilometers?
Kilometers are more likely to be used to measure the distance between two places, rather than the size of objects, since in our normal experience, objects are more likely to be measured by meters or centimeters rather than by kilometers. However, the diameter of planets and their moons, or of the sun or stars, can be measured in kilometers.
Which zone is found 20 kilometers below sea level at the continental mountain location?
shale
In order to avoid an earthquake zone you consider avoiding a location with?
a chain of volcanoes parallel to a continental coast.
In order to avoid earthquake zone you consider avoiding a location with?
a young mountain range along a continental coast.
How does the location of mountain chains provide evidence of continental drift?
Mountain chains are formed by the action of different tectonic plates drifting into and colliding with each other. When they collide one plate rides over the top of the other creating a mountain or mountain range.
Mountain systems such as the Himalayas are the result of?
Continental-continental convergence
What is the maximum thickness of the earth's plates?
Centers of continental plates can extend to depths of more than 200 kilometers, with greater depths under young mountain systems. At subduction zones the oceanic plate can be pushed as deep as 600 kilometers into the mantle before it breaks up and melts under the continental plate.
Complex mountain systems such as the Himalayas?
are the result of continental-continental convergence (:
Complex mountain systems such as the Himalayas are the result of?
Continental-continental convergence.
What mountain ranges was formed by continental continental convergent boundary?
The Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are examples of mountain ranges formed by continental-continental convergent boundaries. These boundaries occur when two continental plates collide, resulting in intense folding, faulting, and uplift of the Earth's crust to create mountain ranges.
What is the underwater mountain of volcanic material?
Magma is the underwater mountain of volcanic material. The underwater mountain of volcanic material is usually in molten rock.
