What else can I help you with?
Is mountains cause by Earth's crust?
yes, mountains are the result of drifting of earths crust towards each other over millions of result... The Himalaya, Andes etc. mountains were made through this drifting process....
What is compression in plate tectonics?
it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
What moves mountains and earthquakes together?
earthquakes make the earths crust collide and sometimes they smash together,such as if one peice of crust goes under the other...makng a point...
Why Are Volcannoes Found Where They Are?
majority of valcanoes follow the edges of the tectonic plates, which are the weaker parts of earths crust, therefore volcanoes form durin the crust giving away to the pressure built up. other volcaoes form other places due to weak parts of earths crust
Mountains are made by movements in earths?
Yes! Amazing isn't it! Mountains are formed by slow but gigantic movements of the earths crust. The Earth's crust is made up of 6 huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When to slabs of the earth's crust smash into each other the land can be pushed upwards, forming mountains. Many of the greatest mountain ranges of the world have formed because of enormous collisions between continents.
Are Mountains that begin when molten materials reaches the earths surface through a weak area crust is called a fault blocked mountains?
No, mountains that are formed when molten materials reach the earth's surface through a weak area in the crust are typically referred to as volcanic mountains. Fault-block mountains, on the other hand, are formed by the movement of tectonic plates along faults, resulting in blocks of crust being uplifted or dropped down.
Do mountains keep us alive?
No mountins do not keep us alive moutins are caused under the earths crust when 1 plate goess over the other plate
Where can you find minerals other than earths crust?
the oceanic plate
What is all the earths land called?
The Earth's land is collectively called the Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface where all the continents, mountains, and other landforms are located.
How miners been able to dig into Earth's crust?
miners have been able to dig into the earths crust by big machines and other huge tools and they have only dig ed 2 miles into the earths crust
Landforms formed by forces pushing up earths crust?
Mountains and plateaus are landforms that are typically formed by the forces of tectonic plates pushing against each other, causing the Earth's crust to uplift. This process is known as crustal deformation and results in the creation of large elevated landmasses.
Why the mountains have a pyramid shape?
Mountais are tall because when two continental plates collide by moving magma underneath the crust, the two plates push up each other, which makes the land rise up and form the shape of the mountains. :) hope it helped.
