Which mountains were formed as a result of ocean-continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
Match the mountains with the type of collision that formed them?
Andes - continental oceanic aleutians - oceanic oceanic North American cordillera - arc continent Appalachians - continental continental
Which type of mountain formation happens at active continental margins?
An active continental margin primarily forms along actively converging boundaries of plates with one continental plate slipping underneath another. These areas are site of high levels of tectonic activity and as such the mountains formed in these areas are generally large volcanic mountains.
Where is mount cotopaxi?
Mount Cotopaxi is in the Andes mountains in Ecuador.
What are the names of young fold mountains of world?
the andes , the himalayas & the rockies
What type of plate boundary is the Andes mountains?
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
What is the boundary of the Andes?
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
What is the plate boundary of the Andes mountain?
A constructive plate boundary, as it pushes land upwards (which formed the mountains)
How was the Andes Mountains and Cascade Mountains most likely formed?
A convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate.
What kinds of plates formed the Andes mountains?
The Andes Mountain Chain is formed as a result of a convergent plate boundary, the collision of the South American Plate with the Nazca Plate.
Andes Mountains are on what kind of boundary?
convergent boundary.
How was the Andes mountain range formed?
The Andes Mountains were formed through subduction of the oceanic plate underneath the South American plate.
How were the Andes mountain and south America mountain formed?
the andes mountains were formed by a continental collision
What geographic features forms a natural boundary between Chile and Argentina?
The Andes Mountians.
What type of plate boundary is near the ozark mountains?
andes mo
What is the mountain range in south America formed at a convergent plate boundary that is associated with earthquakes?
The Andes Mountains. These are generally on the west side of the South American continent.
How are mountains chains formed?
When two edges of tectonic plates collide (convergent boundary) they can cause a crumpling effect and an upthrust to form mountains. The Himalayas, for instance, were formed when the Indian Plate crashed into the Asian Plate. Convergent boundary also applies to the situation where one plate moves under the other (subduction) this kind of plate boundary can also form mountain chains. An example of this is the Andes mountains.
