Which plate boundary creates mountains?
convergent plate boundaries
How can folding and faulting form mountains?
Folding and Faulting usually work together to form mountains. Faulting works by one plate shifting up and one plate submerging. Folding however works by both plates pushing against each other slowly folding over and over. Faulting and Folding and work together to make mountains by as one plate moves down the other up causes the plate going up to roll over or move on top of the other plate then as the bottom plate gets heat from the earths core it rises folding the plate on top again to bring it even higher.

Faulting is to gently contoured mountains as folding is to what?
Folding and faulting in mountains occurs because of the movement of lithospheric plates as described in the theory of plate tectonics. Continent to continent collision compresses the crust and its sedimentary cover rocks, displacing and distorting them upwards (folding) and fracturing them (faulting). Folding and faulting can also occur in oceanic crust-continental crust collisions, in areas above subduction zones.
When rocks bend with out breaking because of plate movement its called?
Folding.
What type of stress in the crust results in the formation of folding mountains?
Plate collisions.
What creates the hymaliya mountains?
two plate boundaries .
What is the effect when there is folding bending and cracking of crust due to plate movement?
It is your girlfriend.
What is it called when a rock bends instead of breaking due to plate movement?
Folding
Which reference to the plate tectonics theory explain how folding occurs?
raising mountains, and i checked .
What is it called when rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement?
It is called folding when rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement.
Why do major landslides occur near plate boundaries?
There are two reasons. First, the movement along plate boundaries and the accompanying folding and faulting can create hills and mountains. If the slopes become too steep they are unstable and prone to landslides. Second, movement along plate boundaries also generates earthquakes, which can trigger landslides.
When rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement it's called .?
It is called folding when rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement.
