The tectonic plates hit each other causing a lot of trauma to the ground above inflicting it to rise up and create a mountain.
What else can I help you with?
What is produced at continental continental convergent boundaries?
At continental-continental convergent boundaries, large mountain ranges are produced due to the collision of two continental plates. The intense pressure and heat generated during the collision can also lead to the formation of deep crustal roots and high-pressure rocks. These boundaries can also trigger earthquakes and volcanic activity.
When are mountains most likely to form at a convergent boundary?
Mountains are most likely to form at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide, with one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. The intense pressure and heat generated during this collision cause the crust to deform and uplift, leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
What continental movements occured during the Mesozoic era?
the alec and smith movement
When and with what were mountains created?
Mountains are created through various geological processes like tectonic plate movement, volcanic activity, and erosion. They form over millions of years through the collision of continental plates or the upwelling of magma from the Earth's mantle. The specific timing and formation of mountains vary depending on the geological context in which they are located.
How will foliation in continental metamorphic rocks formed during subduction be oriented?
perpendicular to the direction of plate movement :)
What landforms were created when the plates slammed into each other during the continental drift?
It can generate raised landmasses such as mountains because of the plates moving over and under each other.
What mountains formed during the Cenozoic era?
ural mountains and applachain mountains
Did continental drift change the formation of the Appalachian mountains?
During the Devonian Age/Period of the Paleozoic Era, the two major landmasses Gondwana and Eurasia pushed together with continental drift to form the Appalachians.
What is created when two continental plates collied?
When two continental plates collide, they create mountain ranges through a process called continental collision. The immense pressure and force generated during the collision cause the rocks to be uplifted and folded, resulting in the formation of mountain chains. An example of this is the Himalayas, which were formed by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate.
What happend to all of the continental plates near the end of the paleozoic era?
During the end of the Paleozoic era, the continental plates started to converge and form the supercontinent called Pangaea. This movement eventually led to the assembly of most of Earth's landmasses into a single large continent. The collision of the continental plates during this time period contributed to the formation of mountain ranges like the Appalachians and the Ural mountains.
What kind of land form can be formed by a convergent boundary between two continents?
Mountain Range, example is the Himalayas Mountains in ASIA, formed from collision of Indian with Asia during its northward migration from Gondwanaland.
What kind of disaster occurred during the formation of Himalayan?
It is widely believed that the disaster that occurred during the formation of the Himalayas was the Continental Drift. The Himalayas are considered to be young mountains compared to other mountain ranges on the Earth.
