Mountains are onvergent.
The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, creating new crust. Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide and can result in subduction zones or mountain formation. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally.
A fault block mountain is typically formed from a divergent boundary. As tectonic plates move apart, blocks of crust are uplifted along fault lines, creating fault block mountains. Examples include the Sierra Nevada in California.
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
Mountain ranges do not typically form at divergent boundaries. Divergent boundaries are where tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys, rather than mountain ranges. Mountain ranges are more commonly associated with convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide and force rocks to be pushed upwards, forming mountain ranges.
Mount Everest is not created by either convergent or divergent plate movements. It is actually formed as a result of the Indian Plate converging with the Eurasian Plate, causing the crust to crumple and uplift, forming the Himalayan mountain range.
The antonym for divergent boundary is convergent boundary. In a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other, while in a convergent boundary, they move towards each other. This can result in subduction zones, mountain formation, or continental collision.
A mountain is typically formed at convergent boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide. This collision causes intense pressure that forces the Earth's crust to uplift and form mountain ranges.
No, the Alps are not a divergent boundary. The Alps are a mountain range formed from the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, a result of convergent boundary activity.
No, convergent boundaries occur where plates move toward each other and collide or subduct, while divergent boundaries occur where plates move away from each other. It is not possible for a convergent boundary to turn into a divergent boundary because the underlying plate tectonics processes are fundamentally different.
Convergent.
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
Convergent boundry
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.

The Mariana Trench is a convergent plate boundary.
