What mountain range has an oceanic plate and continental plate colliding?
Fold mountains.
Where do oceanic trenches form?
At the margins of colliding tectonic plates.
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.
Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?
The Nazca and the South American plates are colliding forming the Andes Mountain.
How mountain forms?
Mountains are formed when two plates collide,They both push upwards and create a mountain.
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 mountain range has an oceanic plate and continental plate colliding?
Fold mountains.
What do colliding plates cause?
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
What is name of volcano that is caused by two oceanic plates colliding?
Trench volcano, resulting in island arc volcanic mountain chains.
What can happen when two oceanic plates converge and one is subducted into the mantle?
The colliding plate edges become crumpled to form a mountain range.
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
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 are the different mountain ranges and their formation?
Himalayas: Continental-continental North American Cordillera: Terrane accretion Aleutian: Oceanic-oceanic Andes: Near an active continental margin _______________________________ Himalayas: Two continents colliding Grand Tetons: Plates spreading Aleutian: Two ocean plates colliding. Andes: Near a subduction zone
Where do oceanic trenches form?
At the margins of colliding tectonic plates.
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.
Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?
The Nazca and the South American plates are colliding forming the Andes Mountain.
What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
