How does tectonic plate motion relate to the formation of volcanos?
because the tectonic plates converge and form mountains then the lava forms underground and erupts with burnin hot maga and lava
Is urals mountain a fold mountain?
Fold mountains are mountains that are formed when the land forms a wave like shape due to the tectonic plate movements underneath so yes the Ural Mountains are fold mountains
What would cause mountains to occur along convergent boundaries?
the way the mountains are formed. mountains can be formed in two different ways. the tectonic plates overlap and form a peak and rises or the tectonic plates come together creating a steep mount and magma from inside the mantle rushes up. But sense the surface of the crust is too cold for the magma to live, it cools and forms a volcano. i hope this is making sense.
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
What geological features are formed by tectonic plates?
Volcanoes, faults, plate boundaries, mountains, oceanic trenches, rift zones, young crust, and continental crust.
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
Tectonic stress forms faults and blocks mountains.

What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?
when tectonic plates move toward each othe forms
What is cadera?
cordera is somthing that forms tectonic plates cordera is somthing that forms tectonic plates
How do plate tectonic interact?
Two tectonic plates collide, one goes under and the other goes over. Usually this forms an earthquake and is how most mountains are formed eg: the great dividing range. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Why are mountains form?
Mountains are formed by tectonic plates shifting and causing the crust to fold. And after millions of years, a mountain builds up.Also when it erupts the rocks build up and forms mountian
Underwater mountains chains that forms where two tectonic plates are pulling are called?
Underwater mountain chains that form where two tectonic plates are pulling apart are called mid ocean ridges. The largest is the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Why don't mountains stop changing?
The earth's tectonic plates are always slowly but surely moving, causing the forms of mountains to constantly change. However noticable changes usually take thousand upon thousands of years.
Where are the landforms located for tectonic plates?
The wording you used didn't make much sense. I'll try to answer it to the best of my ability. Common land forms caused by the movement of plate tectonics include volcanoes and mountains. Sudden tectonic is what causes earthquakes.
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms folded mountains?
The tectonic plates that collide vertical to one opposit end of the other so that the can crash making an earthquake this is done to global warming but really it is earthquake causing global warming
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.
