What is plate collision?
A collision boundary is two plates colliding at each other creating a subduction zone. The heavier/slower plate dives 20-60 degrees down from the surface and the lighter/faster plate is crushed and forms folded mountains along the boundary.
What type of plate boundary is causing the formation of the fold mountains of the Himalayas?
Convergent Boundary.
What plate boundary caused the eruption of eyjafallajokull?
collision plate boundary because they make mountains
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
The Appalachian mountains were produced by what type of plate boundary?
I'm not too sure but i think it is the convergent plate boundary
Where do folded mountains occur?
Folded mountains typically form at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide. The intense pressure and compression during the collision cause the rock layers to bend and fold, resulting in the formation of folded mountain ranges. Examples of folded mountain ranges include the Alps in Europe and the Himalayas in Asia.
What plate boundary feature is associated with the compressive forces?
High folded mountains where two plates are pushing toward each other
What type of plate boundary is the Andes mountains?
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.

What is the plate boundary of the himalaya mountains?

What type of plate boundary form of mountains?
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
What plate boundary caused the eruption of eyjafallajokull?
collision plate boundary because they make mountains
Which plate boundary creates mountains?
convergent plate boundaries
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What kind of mountains form at convergent boundaries?
Folded mountains are created when plates move. Folded mountains occur at convergent boundaries where land is being pushed together. The pressure of the plate motion causes the land above to fold. This folding can happen in a number of different patterns. These folding patterns appear as domes, waves, or twists and turns. Occasionally, this happens at a divergent boundary where part of the adjacent land moves, causing the surface layers to buckle or fold. Folded mountains often have gentile slopes and a dome appearance.
