The appalachian Mountain range
Appalachian Mountain Range
Some examples of mountain ranges created by continental-continental convergence are the Himalayas (resulting from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates) and the Alps (formed by the collision of African and Eurasian plates).
The mountain range in which the eurasian and the African plate collide are called the alps!
Examples of collision mountain ranges include the Himalayas (formed by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate), the Alps (formed by the collision of the African Plate with the Eurasian Plate), and the Andes (formed by the collision of the South American Plate with the Nazca Plate).
The Andes
A continent-continent collision occurs when two continental plates converge and push against each other. This collision can lead to mountain building, as seen in the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate that formed the Himalayas.
Their formation is a result of a continental collision along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate. This is referred to as a fold mountain.
According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, their formation is a result of a continental collision along the boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This is known as a fold mountain.
When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
The Ural Mountains were formed by the collision of the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates, marking the boundary between Europe and Asia.
The Himalayas were formed through the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This collision began around 50 million years ago and is ongoing, resulting in the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range. The immense pressure and forces created by the two plates pushing against each other caused the land to rise and form the highest mountain range in the world.
The Himalayas in Asia is a prime example of a folded mountain range formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The collision between these plates caused the Earth's crust to crumple and fold, resulting in the formation of the towering Himalayan mountain range.
