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.
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.
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?
There are no mountain ranges, properly speaking. The southern Sinai has a lot of mountains, but they do not form a central column.
Mountains form in groups called what?
Mountain ranges.
Mountains form in groups called?
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
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.
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.
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
