Where are the most plate bounderies?
Fault lines.
What is an example of a convergent plate?
an example of a convergent plate/boundary are mountain ranges
What type of boundaries creates volcanic mountains?
Volcanic mountain ranges are formed from oceanic-continental convergent-subduction boundaries, much like with volcanic islands. When a plate is subducted, the crust forming this plate is heated and melted creating magma which erupts from the crust and creates volcanic mountain ranges.
What type of plate boundary is most directly associated with mountain building?
Convergent plate boundaries.
Which plate boundary is responsible for mountain building?
Convergent plate boundaries are responsible for mountain building. Continent-to-continent boundaries build mountains like the Himalayas. Continent-to-ocean boundaries build mountains like the Cascades. The difference is that continent-to-continent convergent boundaries do not produce volcanoes.
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.
Are mountains formed from diverging plates?
Mountain ranges are normally formed at convergent plate boundaries.
What high mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at which type of plate boundary?
High mountain ranges without volcanoes are built at convergent continental plate boundaries. These vary greatly from divergent boundaries which cause volcanoes to form.
Where are the most plate bounderies?
Fault lines.

Major mountain belts are located along what plate boundaries?
Convergent Plate Boundaries

What is the relationship between the location of fold mountain and plate boundaries?
All fold mountains are found on convergent plate boundaries.
When two continental plates converge does a rift valley forms?
No. Continental convergent plate boundaries form fold mountain ranges. A rift valley will form at a divergent plate boundary.
