What else can I help you with?
If you wanted to know whether a certain mountain was formed by compression what would you look for?
To determine if a mountain was formed by compression, you would look for folded and faulted rock layers, as well as evidence of intense pressure causing rocks to deform. Additionally, you might find evidence of compression in the form of thrust faults or folded strata within the mountain. Lastly, examining the types of rocks and their orientation can also provide clues about the mountain's formation.
What would you look for if you wanted to know if a mountain was formed by compression?
Tilted and folded rock formations.
What are 3 types of mountain belts?
Fold mountain belts, formed by the folding of rock layers due to tectonic compression. Volcanic mountain belts, created by volcanic activity and the eruption of magma. Fault-block mountain belts, arising from the stretching and faulting of the Earth's crust, leading to blocks of rock being uplifted along faults.
What type of destructive force formed pine mountain?
Pine Mountain was formed by the tectonic forces associated with the collision of the African and North American plates. The intense compression caused by these forces resulted in the uplifting and folding of the rock layers that make up Pine Mountain.
How does volcanic mountain formed?
yes because when two plants convege , compression forces rocks upward to make mountians
What fault formed as a result of horizontal compression?
A thrust fault is formed as a result of horizontal compression. In a thrust fault, one rock mass is pushed up and over another. These faults are common in mountain-building environments where tectonic forces cause horizontal compression of the Earth's crust.
What is uplift mountain?
A lifted mountain is a mountain that formed due to both volcanic activity and earth movement which made sure that the compression of two landmasses pushed some land upwards. There is involvement of seismic activity.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
What mountain types is formed from new material that is added to earth's suface?
Volcanic Mountains
What are caledonian highlands?
the mountains were formed by compression or folding about 400 million years ago during the 'caledonian period'.these mountain ranges also called as calesonian highlands
What rok is a sedimentary rock?
Types of rocks that were formed by material from the earths surface and within bodies of water.
The Himalayas were formed as a result of what?
compression (:compression (:
