What would it indicate when a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
there are no volcanoes it is not along an ocean coastline
Explain how a mountain range can be formed by an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
A mountain range can be formed by the collision of an oceanic plate and a continental plate. This creates a subduction zone which eventually leads to the formation of a range of mountains.
Which of these would be the best indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
No oceanic coastline Absence of volcanic activity
Which of these would be indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
Mountain formation can result when what occurs?
When subduction occurs at points of plates collision.
Which one is not a volcano formed by subduction Mt Fuji Mt Rainier The Himalayas or Krakatoa?
The Himalayas is a mountain range, but the mountain range is not made by subduction. They are made of 2 continental plates crashing together and pushing the rock upwards.
What can be indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
it is not along an ocean coastline, there are no volcanoes
What forms when two tectoinc plates collide?
Usually either a mountain range, or a subduction zone.

How did Cascade Mountain range form?
The Cascade mountain range is made up of a band of thousands of very small, short-lived volcanoes that have built a platform of lava and volcanic debris. The volcanoes were formed on a subduction zone where the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate plunges beneath the North American Plate. Magma was forced toward the Earth's surface to erupt, forming a chain of volcanoes - the Cascade Volcanic Arc - above the subduction zone.
What is subduction in the Andes Mountain range?
Subduction is one of several things that can occur when two tectonic plates collide. In subduction, one plate ends up dropping below the other plate (think of a wrestler dropping low to get under his opponent's guard). As the one plate drops lower, it pushes the other plate upwards, often causing a mountain chain to form.
What is a row of mountains called?
A mountain range
What happens when a tectonic plate gets subduction?
they will form a mountain
What forms on overriding plates at a subduction zone?
mountain or volcanoe
What is Izalco volcano a rift or a subduction?
this is a cats subduction. cats eat the volcano and then throw it up creating the volcanic mountain
