What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?
when tectonic plates move toward each othe forms
What geologic features of the ocean floor do you think are formed by crustal plates moving together?
Island Arcs and Ranges.
What crustal features are formed by plate movement?
Deep ocean ridges, ocean trenches, mountain ranges, volcanoes, faultlines
How are mountain ranges formed by tectonic plates?
The plates are pushing together causing them to move up and form mountains
What landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.

Are mountains formed from diverging plates?
Mountain ranges are normally formed at convergent plate boundaries.
Are there any earthquakes near mountain ranges?
Yes. Because the mountain ranges are formed from two plates pushing against each other and most earthquakes are formed because of the slipping of two tectonic plates.
Where are mountain ranges formed?
Mountain ranges are formed at tectonic plate boundaries where plates collide, causing intense pressure and uplift of the Earth's crust. This can lead to the formation of fold mountains, such as the Himalayas, or volcanic mountains, like the Andes. Additionally, some mountain ranges are formed through faulting and uplifting processes, creating features like the Rocky Mountains in North America.

Mountain ranges are often formed as a result of?
two plates of equal weight colliding
What landform forms when two of earth's plates collide?
Mountains, get pushed up when two plates collide.
Plates crumple up to form what ranges?
(Mountain) ranges
What physical feature is created when the seafloor spreads?
A mid-ocean ridge is formed along a line created by sea floor spreading. It usually consists of parallel mountain ranges separated by a valley. Sea floor spreading is the result of plate tectonics, where two crustal plates are moving apart. The ridge is formed along lines of the weakest points between the two plates.
How are mountain formed?
Volcanic mountains are formed either through the introduction and accumulation of magma over a crustal "hot spot" or through volcanic activity associated with the collision and subduction of a crustal plate, where the melting of the subducted crust creates magma, gases and pressures that are released in eruptions.Continental crustal plate collisions, where neither plate subducts, create mountain ranges such as The Himalayan Mountain Range, where crustal material is thrust upward faster than erosion can wear it down.Plates can stretch until they crack and slide, forming fault-block mountains.In the ocean, great underwater mountains are formed when plates spread away from one another, and melted rock pushes up through the gap, creating hot, buoyant elevations of new crust (a simplification of the process).Many mountains inclueding Everest were created by two of Earths tectonic plates pushing against each other.
