Which type of mountain formation happens at active continental margins?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
An active continental margin primarily forms along actively converging boundaries of plates with one continental plate slipping underneath another. These areas are site of high levels of tectonic activity and as such the mountains formed in these areas are generally large volcanic mountains.

How are continental margins related to mountain building?
Science
Which of the following is true of passive continental margins?
they have a continental rise
Where are active continental margins primarily located?
around the margins of the indian ocean
How are convergent plate margins characterized?
Convergent plate margins are characterized as collision zones between plates and may involve continental to continental crust, continental to oceanic crust, or oceanic to oceanic crust. Those that involve oceanic crust result in subduction of the more dense plate into the Earth's mantle. Continental to continental plate collisions result in uplift of the surface features and mountain building and the margin may eventually become welded together.
Why can paper cutouts of the continental including the continental margins be pieced together to form a single whole?
Plate tectonics.

Do active continental margins have a continental rise?
no.
What are continental mountain ranges associated with?
Plate tectonics, (inter-continental plate collision).
What is true about passive continental margins?
They have a continental rise
What are the 3 sections of the continental margins?
Continental board-Continental deckcontinental fall
Which of the following is true of passive continental margins?
they have a continental rise
How do active margins differ from passive margins?
Passive continental margins are not areas of convergence. There is little volcanic and earthquake activity on passive margins. Active margins are areas of convergence where one plate is descending beneath another. They are associated with volcanic and earthquake activity.
Where are active continental margins primarily located?
around the margins of the indian ocean
What are Parts of the continental margin?
The three parts of the continental margins are the Continental shelf, the Continental slope, and the Continental rise.
Which seafloor feature is not found on active continental margins?
continental rise
What seafloor feature is not found on active continental margins?
continental rise
What does a passive continental margin have which other margins lack?
