How are plate tectonics formed?
Tectonic plates can be formed when two land masses collide over time (also how mountains can be formed). In this case however one land mass slides over the other. This can be very unstable though which is why earthquakes happen.
Which glacial feature has steep cliffs?
Some were, if in the mountains. Glaciers carve out deep U-section valleys with very steep sides and headwalls. Coastal cliffs though are formed by the sea eroding the land, and the nature of the cliff depends very much on the rock in which it is being cut.
What plate boundary can create mountains and volcanoes?
Mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas, were formed when 2 plates collided. When 2 tectonic plates crash together, the force pushes the plate boundaries upward and create mountains. So, mountains are formed by convergent plate boundaries. By, Heather (11) ADDED: Correct, though the collision is more a steady push than a "crash". The Himalayas are still forming, with the up-lift slightly faster than the erosion, as India is still colliding with the Asian continental plate.
What is one structure formed though the deposition of sediment?
delta's
A is an opening in Earth's surface though which magma comes out?
Fissures
When was Porcupine Mountains created?
The Porcupine Mountains were able to formed, even though not even close to any tectonic plates, because of ancient, hard volcanic basalt that was uplifted. The ridges are pieces of once-towering mountains. The Porcupine Mountains were also formed by glaciers during the ice age.
What kind of rock are mountains made of?
Mountains are made up of many different types of rocks. It also depends on the where the mountain is located and how it formed. For example, mountains formed by recent volcanic activity will be mostly composed of Igneous rock. Though most mountains and the like are made up of a combination of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock.

What is the surface features of earth?
well life forms, land-forms such as volcanoes and mountains.
Why is aluminium can be used outdoors even though it is quiet high in the reactivity series?
A protective coating of aluminium oxide is formed at the surface.
Have you seen the dark spot on the sun what is it called where it is formed what causes it?
Yes I have seen a dark spot on the Sun. It is called a "Sunspot". It is formed on the Sun's surface which is called the "photo-sphere" and is caused by a loop of the Sun's magnetic field poking though the Sun's surface.
Why are the Catskills not a true mountain range?
They were not formed by regular mountain building processes. Weird though, they look like mountains... Well, I guess if Pluto is not a planet...
Would the world be different without mountains?
Mountains are caused by the movement of techtonic plates (which are colliding and rubbing all the time). When two bodies of land collide or earth is pushed up, mountains are formed. The world without mountains would have different environments, as many organisms use mountains as their habitat. Without mountains though, the world would survive, just without the species that rely on mountains as their habitat.
When did the Appalachian mountains form?
The Appalachian Mountains are 1,500 miles long. They were discovered in June 1528 by Panfilo de Narvaez, when he led an expedition into Apalachee territory.
Types of landforms?
The shaped surface of the Earth is particularly featured by the landform. And Earth has three main landforms, (1) the valleys or the lower regions of the Earth and formed from the effect of eroding movement of water over rock and soil, (2) the mountains or a large vertical landforms, the Earth's natural elevation, and (3) the plains or the mostly flat and broad areas landform, more than 50% of the Earth's interior.
