What is the relationship between the location of fold mountains and earthquakes?
Fold mountains are often created by the collision of tectonic plates, which can also generate earthquakes. The building of fold mountains can cause stress to accumulate within the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes as the crust adjusts to the tectonic forces. Therefore, there is a close relationship between the location of fold mountains and seismic activity such as earthquakes.
Do earthquakes make mountains?
No.Mountains are the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Earthquakes are also the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Thus the two go together but the earthquakes do not cause the mountains.
What is the connection between mountains and plate boundaries?
Mountains are often formed at plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide. This collision can cause one plate to be forced upward, leading to the formation of mountains. The uplifted plate may undergo further geological processes, such as folding and faulting, which contribute to the mountain-building process.
Why earthquakes common in the belt of young fold mountains?
Earthquakes are common in the belt of young fold mountains because these regions are characterized by active tectonic plate movements. As the Earth's crust continues to deform and shift, accumulated stress is released in the form of earthquakes, especially in areas with recently formed or evolving mountain ranges like the Himalayas or the Andes. The collision and subduction of tectonic plates in these regions result in intense geological activity, making earthquakes a frequent occurrence.
What are 2 geoologic features or events that might result from the movement of crustal plates?

Do earthquakes help mountains form?
yes
What have earthquakes got to do with mountains?
when some earthquakes come they make the ground or surface of the earth uneven which sometimes form mountains
What form divergent?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
What do Divergent forms?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
What does mountains and earthquakes have alike?
they both form or happen from plate tectionic
Do mountains prevent earthquake shocks?
Mountains do not prevent earthquakes, in fact mountains were created by the occurrence of earthquakes.
How do divergent boundaries form volcanoes?
no yes and symp
What occur when two continental plates collide pushing the continental crust up to form mountains?
Earthquakes!
Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.
Why does magma work its way to the surface?
when rocks push both way and they form a mountains or volcanoand they can make earthquakes
What area has mountains but no earthquakes?
California
How are earthquakes and mountains alike?
They are NOT alike.
