If a deep ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent active volcanos would likely be found were?
If a deep-ocean trench is located adjacent to a continent, active volcanoes.
Are the rocky mountains the oldest mountain range on earth?
No. That title likely goes to the Appalachians, which are about 200 million years older than the Rockies.
If fog is forming at Denver Colorado and the wind is blowing from the east then the fog is most likely?
Upslope Fog. The fog is brought from a lower elevation in the east to a higher elevation in the Rockies. This type of fog forms at all of the mountain ranges in North America.
Why is it that pahoehoe and AA lava are more frequent in shield volcanoes than in composite volcanoes?
Aa and pahoehoe lavas are both basaltic in composition. The lava from composite volcanoes is likely to be granitic.
How Weathering and erosion effect mountain?
weathering and erosion most likely affect a mountain overtime by making the mountain shorter.
How are active volcanoes and dormant alike?

Where are active mountain belts likely to be found?
Active mountain belts are most likely to be found where on the continents
Active volcanoes are most likely to form at .?

These are "sleeping" volcanoes which may become active once again. eg: Mt.vesuvius.Extinct volcanoes: are those volcanoes which were active in the remote geological periods. Eg: Mt.Kenya
