What is the relative age of the Alps mountains?
The Alps mountains are relatively young in geological terms, with formation beginning around 30-40 million years ago. The rounded appearance of the mountains suggests they have not been subject to extensive erosion and are therefore considered young mountains.
What mountain ranges were caused by folding?
The Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Alps in Europe are examples of mountain ranges caused by folding of the Earth's crust through tectonic processes.
What two lithispheric plates created the alps fold mountain belt?
The collision between the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate created the Alps mountain range over millions of years. The convergence of these two plates resulted in intense folding and faulting of the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of the Alps.
What mountain chain was caused by the collision of the Eurasian or African continental plates with the North American Plates?
The mountain range in which the eurasian and the African plate collide are called the alps!
How do scientists tell the approimate age of mountains?
Scientists can determine the approximate age of mountains by studying the rock layers within them. By analyzing the composition, structure, and fossil evidence in the rocks, as well as using techniques like radiometric dating, scientists can estimate the age of the mountain and when it was formed. Additionally, studying the erosion patterns and surrounding geological features can provide clues about the age of a mountain.
