What process results in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?
The most substantial will be from crustal folding at a collision boundary between two continental plates. An example is the Himalayas which have been pushed up in Asia by the collision of the Indian Plate. The Rocky Mountains of North America were similarly formed by shallow subduction of the Farallon and Kula oceanic plates.
What results in the formation of desert pavement?
Deflation results in the formation of desert pavement.
What type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where to oceanic plates meet?
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.
The metamorphism of limestone results in the formation of?
Quartize
Explain what type of stress in the crust results in the formation of folded mountains?
Folded mountains are the result of compression stress in the earth's crust. This is a movement of plates that presses together or squeezes Earth's crust and is also known as convergent boundary.

Compression.

What type of mountain is likely to form when plates with edges that have oceanic lithosphere collide?
When plates with edges which have ocean lithosphere collide with each other, one plate can be pushed under the other, causing the magma from the mantle to rise. This results in the formation volcanic mountains in the vicinity.

The process of meiosis never results in the formation of a?
The process of meiosis never results in the formation of a Diploid.
Stimulation of the reticular formation results in what?
Stimulation of the reticular formation results in increased consciousness.
What are the tectonic conditions that lead to the formation of a chain of volcanoes on a continent and island arc volcanoes?
Continental and island arc volcanic chains are due to the collision of tectonic plates and the subduction of the more dense plate under the lighter, less dense plate. The resultant melting of the subducted crust as it reaches the mantle results in volcanism as the lighter, melted rock attempts to rise to the surface.
