What is it called when two plates collide forming a mountain?
I think that when two continental plates collide it's called a collision margin, the mountains that then form are called fold mountains :)
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?
this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.
What is formed when two plates collide into each other?
It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
What does the collision of two plates carrying continental crust cause the formation of?
It would cause a mountain range and possibly volcanoes in that mountain range.
When two continental plates collide what happens?
When two continental plates collide they form mountains .
Can a collision of two continental plates create a mountain range?
Yes, the collision of the tectonic plates due to internal disturbance can lead to the formation of mountain range because of there sliding over one another.

When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
Erosion on a mountain range that was pushed up as a result of two continental plates colliding will lead to the formation of?
sedimentary rock
Plate A and Plate B are both continental plates What is the most likely result if the two plates collide?
the plates will push each other up and form a mountain range.
True or false When two continental plates converge Rift Valley forms?
False. A rift valley forms when continental plates diverge or pull apart. When two continental plates collide the result is a mountain range.
What happens when two continental plates come together?
When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
If two continental plates converge a subduction zone forms?
False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.
