Which mountain ranges was the result continental continental convergence?
The Andes
Which mountains were formed as a result of ocean continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
What is an example of a folded mountain range which is the result of colliding continental plates?
In Europe: the Alps, in the Americas: the Andes.
What are facts about cordillera?
A cordillera is a chain of mountains or mountain ranges. The term cordillera is mostly applied to various ranges of the Andes in South America. The structure of cordillera mountains is usually the result of folding and faulting accompanied by volcanic activity.
Why does it rain near mountains?
Mountain ranges have more precipitation on one side than the opposite because as the moist air rises and cools, the water vapor condenses and precipitates. The result is often a dry steppe or even a desert on the one side, and a lush forest or even a rainforest on the opposite side. Examples include the Rockies, the Andes, and the Himalayas.
Which mountain ranges was the result continental continental convergence?
The Andes
Mountain systems such as the Himalayas are the result of?
Continental-continental convergence
Complex mountain systems such as the Himalayas?
are the result of continental-continental convergence (:
Complex mountain systems such as the Himalayas are the result of?
Continental-continental convergence.
What mountain chain is a result of continental-continental convergence?
its the himialahs appalicans and albines
Ocean convergence produces what?
Ocean convergence with continental plates result in subduction zone. Oceanic with oceanic plates convergence forms volcanic mountain.
Mountain ranges did not form as a result of continent collision?
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
The Himalayan Mountains were formed as a result of what?
continental-continental convergence
What plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?
Continental plate to continental plate collisions.
A collision between two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary produces a?
Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.
Sierra Nevada mountain range formed as a result of?
ocean-continent convergence
What does a convergant boundary form?
There are three types of convergent boundaries: Oceanic, continental, and continental-oceanic convergent boundaries. Continental-continental convergent boundaries form mountain ranges. Continental-oceanic boundaries result in subduction zones and the recycling of lithosphere. The continental side of the boundary may form a mountain range. Oceanic-oceanic form deep oceanic trenches and sometimes volcanoes.
