Which of the convergent boundaries would most likely create a non-volcanic mountain range?
A collision boundary (also known as a continent-continent convergent boundary) would most likely create a non-volcanic mountain range. When two continental plates collide, the crust crumples and folds, leading to the formation of mountain ranges like the Himalayas. This process does not typically involve volcanic activity.
What fault would create landforms through shearing stress?
A strike-slip fault would create landforms through shearing stress. In a strike-slip fault, two blocks of rock slide past each other horizontally, causing a horizontal shearing stress that can result in landforms such as fault scarps or offset river channels.
Why would you get wet if you visited the largest mountain range on earth?
You would get wet if you visited the largest mountain range on earth because of precipitation in the form of rain or snow. The mountain range would likely experience weather patterns that result in moisture falling from the atmosphere, leading to wet conditions.
How will erosion affect a mountain range?
Erosion will cause the tops of mountains to become rounded after an extremely long time. An example of a new mountain range, with little erosion, would be the Himalayas in south-central Asia. An example of an eroded mountain range would be the Appalachians in eastern United States.
What is the indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
If a mountain range was not formed by subduction, there would be a lack of deep oceanic trenches or volcanic arcs associated with the subduction process. Instead, the presence of folded and faulted sedimentary rocks or uplifted blocks of crustal rocks would suggest alternative mechanisms such as continental collision or crustal compression as the cause of the mountain range's formation. Additionally, the absence of volcanic activity related to magma rising from subduction zones would further support the indication that subduction did not play a significant role in the mountain range's formation.
Why would a rough steep mountain habitat have a higher rate of speciation than a large open grasslands habitat?
The mountain would isolate subgroups of the population.
Which mountain range would you have to cross to travel by land from northern Iran to Moscow?
Caucasus mountain range.
A group of mountains closely related in shape structure and age is a what?
a mountain range
What word describes a row of mountains?
A long row of mountains would be called a mountain range.
What is the Cordillera region?
that would be the range of mountain's.
Would you expect to see a folded-mountain range at a mid-ocean range?
Of course! Mountain ranges can be underwater! Right?...
The himalaya mountains contain many of these faults?
You would find a combination of strike-slip and thrust faults. This is what gives the mountain range the jagged look.

What would happen if an east-west mountain range were located on the equator?
f an east-west mountain range were located on the equator,
What is the longest mountain range in the would?
The Andes Mountains
What is the culture of the great dividing range?
The Great Dividing Range is a mountain range in Australia. Mountain ranges do not have a specific culture, but if they did,the culture of the Great Dividing Range would be that of the indigenous Australians.
A collision between two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary produces a?
Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.
