What else can I help you with?
Does ocean to ocean collision make mountains?
No. It is the collision between two tectonic plates that can cause mountains. For example: when the Indian plate collided into the European plate, the Himalayan mountains were formed.
The ural mountais formed as a result of the collision of Europe with asiathe urals are therefore most likely to be?
The Ural mountains formed as a result of the collision of Europe with Asia and are folded mountains. Fold mountains are mountain ranges that are formed when two of the tectonic plates that make up the Earth's crust push together at their border. The extreme pressure forces the edges of the plates upwards into a series of folds.
When plates in Earth's crust collided do volcanoes erupt?
not necessarily but its not unheard of. mainly they make earthquakes or in some cases they form mountains over time
What type of plates collide to form Krakatoa?
The Eurasian and the Indian Plates collided to make Krakatoa (also known as Krakatau) erupt
What 2 plates collided to cause the earthquake in christchurch in new zealand?
The earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2011 was caused by the collision between the Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate. The movement of these two tectonic plates resulted in a series of seismic events that severely impacted the city.
What land feature did you make by pushing the two plates together?
Mountains
What is the Continent besides Europe that make up euraisa?
Asia. The dividing line between Europe and Asia is generally thought to be the Ural mountains.
How high are the ural mountains?
2500 km The above must be someone's estimate of length - I make it closer to 1600 km. The highest Ural mountain seems to be about 1900 METRES, so the average would be around 1200 metres.
What are methamorphic rocks?
When 2 plates collide, they cause the rock to break apart down to sediamentary rock. Then, the sedimentary rock forms mountains of metamorphic rock, through heat and pressure. METAMORPHIC ROCK IS MAKE OF BROKEN DOWN, SMALLER PIECES OF ROCK THAT HAS BEEN COLLIDED TOGETHER.

Do transform faults make mountains?
No, transform faults do not make mountains. Transform faults occur where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Mountains are typically formed by the convergence of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or by volcanic activity.
What geographic factors make Russia so hard to defeat?
One of the geographic features that makes Russia hard to defeat is the Ural Mountains which are separating Russia from Siberia.
