What phenomenon created the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayas stretch over six countries including India, China, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This mountain range was caused by tectonic plate collision.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What causes plateaus to form?
Mountains and Plateaus are formed when tectonic plates collide with one another. The Himalayas were formed and are still growing as the two tectonic plates they sit on are still pushing on one another.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates
What is the difference between Continental plates and Tectonic plates?
Continental plates are tectonic plates. They are tectonic plates upon which continents rest, and they move as do all tectonic plates. Basically, there is no difference, other than the fact that oceanic plates are another type of tectonic plate.
How were large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas?
collision of tectonic plates
How were large mountain ranges such as the Himalayas produced?
collision of tectonic plates
How were large mountains ranges such as Himalayas produced?
collision of tectonic plates
Did the movement of plates create the Himalayas?
The Himalayas were lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate,
How does plates affect the surface of the surface?
when tectonic plate collides with other tectonic plates or moves into another tectonic plate it affects surface in a way to create mountains. Like Himalayas are created when the indian tectonic plate collided with asian tectonic plate.
How do tectonic plates converge?
Mountain building like the Himalayas. Or one plate slides under another.
What phenomenon created the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayas stretch over six countries including India, China, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This mountain range was caused by tectonic plate collision.
What types of tectonic force create mountains?
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
Does the Eurasian plate have a convergent boundary?
It has several! For example the Himalayas are formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
What are the plates that make up Earth's crust?
Tectonic plates
What causes plateaus to form?
Mountains and Plateaus are formed when tectonic plates collide with one another. The Himalayas were formed and are still growing as the two tectonic plates they sit on are still pushing on one another.
