What crustal features are formed by plate movement?
Deep ocean ridges, ocean trenches, mountain ranges, volcanoes, faultlines
How do continental mountain ranges form?
The tectonic plate movement forms folds in the land over long expansions of time, therefore creating mountains. If you have a continental mountain range, the tectonic plate movement has been moving in that area for a long time.
What is an example of a convergent plate?
an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
What is cause mountain ranges to rise?
One tectonic plate moving into another one causes mountain ranges to rise.
How can you explain folded mountain ranges located in the middle of a tectonic plate?
compression
What are mountains associated with convergent plate boundaries?
The mountains that are associated with convergent plate boundaries are mountain ranges or mountain belts. Examples of a mountain range is the Andes.
What are continental mountain ranges associated with?
Plate tectonics, (inter-continental plate collision).

The occurrence of marine fossils in rock strata located high in terrestrial mountain ranges can be attributed to?
uplift associated with plate tectonics
Why are mountain ranges linear?
plate tectonics.
How were the Andes mountain ranges created?
nazca plate south american plate
What is an example of a convergent plate?
an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
What is cause mountain ranges to rise?
One tectonic plate moving into another one causes mountain ranges to rise.
Where can the effect of plate movement be seen?
The most obvious effect of plate movement can be seen at the plate boundaries, and most obviously at those boundaries where the plates are moving towards each other, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges eg. Himalayan Mountains, Andes in Sth America
The formation of volcanoes and mountain ranges can be explained by the theory of what?
Plate tectonics
Which plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate to form the Andes Mountain Ranges?
north american
