Is it true that mountains form as a result of a collision between two continental plates?
That is one method of mountain formation, yes.
Which phenomena is responsible for the formation of the highest mountains?
The phenomenon responsible for the formation of the highest mountains is Tectonism. This is caused mostly as a result the collision movements of various lithospheric plates. The process of formation of the mountains is termed Orogeny.
What type of plate boundary occurs by the Himalayas?
Collision boundary. The Himalayas, is the result of the on going collision between India and Asia. source of this answer being a test i just took in my Earth Science class, that said i got this correct ;)
Is Mt Everest volcanic?
AnswerNo. it never has been.
What is the result of a collision with a large object from space is often an impact?

What is the result of collision with two sections of the continental crust?
mountain formation
What kind of plate collision would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain range?

Mountain formation can result when what occurs?
When subduction occurs at points of plates collision.
Is it true that mountains form as a result of a collision between two continental plates?
That is one method of mountain formation, yes.
What plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?
Continental plate to continental plate collisions.
Detail about how Himalayas were formed?
Their formation is a result of a continental collision along the convergent boundary between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate. This is referred to as a fold mountain.
How was the Himalaya mountain range created?
According to the modern theory of plate tectonics, their formation is a result of a continental collision along the boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This is known as a fold mountain.
Which of the following plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain range?
two pieces of continental crust meeting at a convergent boundary
Mountain ranges did not form as a result of continent collision?
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
What mountain chain formed in Chile as a result of the collision of the two plates?
The Andes Mountains
How collision between continental plates can result in the formation of metamorphic rock?
its funny because im looking for that answer too ._.
What happens when two pieces of continental crust run into each other?
... a mountain range like the Himalayas is formed.
