What mountain ranges was formed by continental continental convergent boundary?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
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.

Is the Alps a divergent boundary?
No, the Alps are not a divergent boundary. The Alps are a mountain range formed from the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, a result of convergent boundary activity.
What type of boundary was the Andes mountain range formed at?
The Andes mountain range was formed at a convergent boundary where the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are colliding. This collision has caused the crust to be uplifted and folded, creating the impressive mountain range we see today.
What type of mountain is the Himalayan mountains?
Intercontinental convergent boundary.
Is teide formed on a convergent plate boundary?
No, Teide is not formed on a convergent plate boundary. It is a volcano located on the island of Tenerife, which is part of the Canary Islands, formed by a hotspot beneath the Earth's crust, creating a volcanic hotspot.
What physical feature formed the northeast boundary of Asoka's empire?
The physical feature that formed the northeast boundary of Asoka's empire was the Himalayan mountain range.
What type of convergent boundary is the Himalaya mountain formed by?

What type of boundary formed the rocky mountains?
continental continental convergent boundary
What type continental boundary caused the Himalayas to be formed?
A convergent or constructive continental boundary formed the Himalayas.
What is a example of a large mountain range formed when two plate's made of continental lithosphere collided?
convergent boundary ^.<
What type of convergent boundary is the Himalaya formed by?

What mountains were formed by a divergent boundary?
The Himalayas are formed at a continental-continental convergent boundary.The Andes are formed at an oceanic-continental boundary.
What happens when oceanic and continental plates collide?
At this type of convergent boundary the oceanic plate will be subducted, or sink into the mantle underneath the continental plate. Volcanoes often form near these boundaries.
What type of convergent boundary is himalaya mountains formed by?
Continental Collision Boundary
How was the Andes mountain range formed?
The Andes Mountains were formed through subduction of the oceanic plate underneath the South American plate.
Convergent boundary with no subduction?
A convergent boundary with no subduction is a continental-continental boundary. Because oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, it is always the subducting plate in a oceanic-continental boundary. In an oceanic-oceanic boundary, one of the plates will subduct, depending on several factors. Continental plates are thicker and less dense than oceanic plates, and when they converge, they push up the area where the plates meet, forming mountain ranges (note that this is not the only, or even the predominant, method of mountain formation). The Himalayas are being formed as a result of a continental-continental boundary.
