What else can I help you with?
What landform resulting from 2 continental plates colliding together?
Tectonic plates colliding generally form mountains.
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
How is a mountain formed by colliding continental plates?
In theory, tectonic plates. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/geology/tectonics.html
Can continental plates vs continental plates form a plateau?
sometimes. In rare cases, the backup caused by the plates colliding will create a long, flat, elevated area, or plateau.
Where are mountains from?
Mountains are caused by the uplift of landmasses either by volcanic action or by continental plates colliding.
What evidence is there to prove that continents are still moving and colliding?
The fact that there are subduction zones where continental plates meet !
What kind of mountains are the Rockies?
They are fold mountains as it is a mountain range. It is caused by either 2 continental plates or an oceanic and a continental plate colliding into each other.
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
What is at a convergent boundary where two continental plates are presently colliding?
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
Do colliding plates cause earthquakes?
Actually colliding plates cause earthquakes
How do earthquakes create mountain ranges?
Appalachian- two continents colliding North American Cordillera- terrane accretion Aleutian- oceanic convergence Andes- an oceanic plate and continental plate colliding
