What else can I help you with?
How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of epicenters and volcanoes?
The distribution of mountain ranges is closely linked to tectonic plate boundaries, where plates converge, diverge, or slide past one another. Epicenters of earthquakes typically occur along these boundaries, reflecting the movement and stress accumulated in the Earth's crust. Similarly, volcanoes are often found in these areas, particularly at convergent and divergent boundaries, where magma can rise to the surface. Thus, both epicenters and volcanoes are concentrated in regions where mountain ranges form due to tectonic activity.
What are some mountain ranges in martinique?
The Carbet Peaks are a mountain range in Martinique.
How many mountain ranges are in kansas?
None.
Why earthquakes are common in the belt of young fold mountain?
because it is a fold mountain...some humor is good in life.:)
How is plate tectonics responsible for mountain building volcanoes earthquakes and ocean trenches?
If your question is "How are earthquakes and volcanos triggered by plate tectonics?", then here is my best explanation. Earthquakes are caused by two tectonic plates smashing together and buckling either upward (Forms a volcano/mountain) or downward (forms a trench/faultline) to trigger an earthquake. If one of the plates goes under the other then I believe the magma leaks out and forms a mass of volcanic rock that can either create a land mass, or make an underwater volcano/mountain.
How do mountain ranges form if they're not near a coast line?
Earthquakes
How are the location of earthquakes mountain ranges and volcanic activity related?
"Young" mountain ranges as well as earthquakes, volcanoes and tectonic plates tend to be located on or near the boundaries of tectonic plates.
How do mountain ranges influence tourism?
is it easy to create or use any mode of transport on mountain ranges
Are there any earthquakes near mountain ranges?
Yes, mountain ranges are often located along tectonic plate boundaries where earthquakes are more likely to occur. The movement of these plates can cause stress build-up along fault lines within or near the mountain range, leading to earthquakes.
Stress in Earth's crust leads to movement and changes in Earth's lithosphere that result in?
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What forms when continental crust converge with oceanic crust?
Deep sea trenches, Mountain ranges, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes.
Two continental plates colliding at a convergent boundary will often form?
a subduction zone where one plate is forced beneath the other, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.
Which type of boundaries create mountain ranges?
Convergent boundaries are responsible for creating mountain ranges. When two tectonic plates collide, the land is forced upwards, creating intense pressure that results in the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of mountain ranges formed by convergent boundaries include the Himalayas and the Andes.
Are there mountain ranges volcanoes or earthquakes not located along the plate boundaries?
yes, eg in Britain and Italy, where there are old faultlines
Why do you have so many range in California?
There are many mountain ranges in California because of tectonic forces like earthquakes or volcanoes.
What movements cause earthquakes volcanoes and mountain ranges?
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates along faults in the Earth's crust, while volcanoes are formed by the movement of magma from the mantle to the surface through eruptions. Mountain ranges are created by the collision of tectonic plates, causing uplift and deformation of the Earth's crust.
What four things happen when plates move?
earthquakes volcanoes landslides and tsunami
