When plates in Earth's crust collided do volcanoes erupt?
not necessarily but its not unheard of. mainly they make earthquakes or in some cases they form mountains over time
What is the most common way mountains form?
Mountains form on shifting tectonic plates
What plates form atlas mountains?
Tectonic
How do you form a mountain?
In short: you don't. Mountains are formed by geological processes. The Himilayas are fold mountains where two continental crusts have collided. The force crumples the rock into mountains. The Andes are formed at a destructive plate boundary where the force of the plate moving under it forces the ground up.
How do snow storms form in the Appalachian Mountains or the Rocky Mountains Where do these storms get their moisture?
they get there moisture from the clouds and the storms form by lots of heavy snow
What period did the appalachian mountains form?
The Appalachian Region was formed in the Paleozoic era millions of years ago when the North American and African Tectonic Plates Collided.
What plates form the Rocky Mountains?
The North American plate collided with the Pacific plate that created the rocky mountains.
What two plates collided to form the ural mountains?
The Ural Mountains were formed by the continents of Europe and Asia joining together.
What collided with what to form the Himalayan mountains?
when plates collide mountains will form. If you look at a map with the plate boundaries and compare it to a physical map of the world you will see that a lot of mountaind=s form on plate boundries.
Which Plates collided to form the Alps Mountain Range?
the African and European tectonic plates that collided
How did K2 form?
when 2 plates collided
How did the Rocky Mountains form?
The Rocky Mountains formed from the collision of the North American and Pacific plates, & uplifting areas of crust to form mountains. They started rising about 80 million years ago. Science, Continental - Continental where 100 million years ago where these two Earth crust collided together and after a while it started building up, and eventually became a mountain. The Rocky Mountains formed west to east, as based on geological evidence. The Appalachian Mountains formed from east to west, again based on geological evidence. The Appalachian Mountains are much older than The Rocky Mountains. The Rocky Mountains contains rock sediments proven to be from The Appalachian Mountains.
When plates in Earth's crust collided do volcanoes erupt?

What type of plates form the Himalayas?
the Himalayas were formed by a collision plate boundary, meaning that the plates collided and formed the Himalayas. The Himalayas are also referred to as 'fold mountains' because of the way in which they are made.
What two continents collided to form the Appalachian mountain range?
Africa and North America
What two plates collided to form the rocky mountains?
The Juan de Fuca Plate and the North American Plate
What natural force helped create the Appalachian?
The Appalachian mountains were created when two plates in the earth's crust smashed into each other. This pushed two areas of the earth up and helped to form the mountain range.
