Ocean Ridge
What are some mountain ranges in martinique?
The Carbet Peaks are a mountain range in Martinique.
How many mountain ranges are in kansas?
None.
Do mountains ever grow?
Absolutely! There are a few different ways they can grow. Mountain ranges form when tectonic plates push together, and that is how they grow. The Himalayas were formed by the Indian plate pushing into Asia, and they're still growing. Mountain ranges can also shrink when tectonic plates pull apart. For example, the Rockies are still technically growing, but the Appalachians are shrinking.
What can be produced at an ocean-continental convergent boundary?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
How does compression in southern California cause basins and mountain ranges form?
The San Andreas fault has caused the basins and mountain ranges to form.
What are the mountain ranges in Egypt?

Mountain ranges and mountain systems form a larger unit called a?
mountain belt.
Mountains form in groups called?
Mountain ranges.
Mountains form in groups called what?
Mountain ranges.
Plates crumple up to form what ranges?
Plates crumple up to form mountain ranges due to the intense forces of tectonic activity, such as collision or subduction. When plates collide, the immense pressure forces the edges of the plates to crumple and uplift, creating mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
What mountain ranges form the sides of the Deccan Plateau?
Ghats
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.
How long are the carpathian mountains?
The Carpathian Mountains or Carpathians are mountain ranges with an arc form. The mountain ranges are 1,500 km or 932 mi in length.
Explain how folded mountain ranges form?
Folded mountain ranges form when tectonic plates collide, causing the crust to fold and buckle due to compressional forces. Over time, these folds are uplifted to create mountain ranges with ridges and valleys. Examples include the Himalayas and the Appalachians.
Which features form the longest mountain ranges on Earth?
Ocean Ridge
How do mountain ranges form if they're not near a coast line?
Earthquakes
