The most direct way that an earthquake is related to mountain building is this: Two techtonic plates converge or come together. This causes the the rumbling known as the earthquake. one plate or portion of the earths crust is forced under another and when it gets deep enough, that material becomes so hot that it melts and rises up to the surface creating sometimes fissures and other times like in the cascade mountains; volcanoes and mountain ranges.

What are the effects of divergent plate movements?

Earthquakes and volcanism.These are formed when two continental tectonic plates collide and their edges. The type of soil in an area greatly affects the type of plant (and animal) life that.


How is isostatic adjustments involved in mountain building?

because isostasy, defored and thickened crust will undergo regional uplift both during mountain building for a long period afterward


How do motions affect Earth's crust?

Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.


How does a mountain form in earths science?

In many ways. Volcanism, Plate Tectonics, Subduction, Folding, Earthquakes (the Tetons); these are just some of the mechanisms involved. http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain


What are some plate movement effects?

The movement of plate tectonics can result in earthquakes, tsunamis, mountain building, volcanic activity, and oceanic trenches.


What is tectonic activities?

Tectonic activities are processes related to the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust. This includes activities such as plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building. These activities are driven by the movement of tectonic plates and can result in the formation of various geologic features.


Where do most of earth's earthquakes volcanoes and mountain building occur geologically?

Most earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building occur along tectonic plate boundaries. This is because the movement of these plates creates stress and pressure that can lead to these geological events. The Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped area around the Pacific Ocean, is the most active region for these geological activities.
