What is an example of a folded mountain range which is the result of colliding continental plates?

The Himalayas in Asia is a prime example of a folded mountain range formed by the collision of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The collision between these plates caused the Earth's crust to crumple and fold, resulting in the formation of the towering Himalayan mountain range.


What events occur to build mountain range?

Most mountain ranges occur in the region of major plates colliding with each other, forcing one to go over top of the other.


Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?

The South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are colliding, causing the rise of the Andes Mountains through a process known as subduction. The Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the mountain range.


What is at a convergent boundary where two continental plates are presently colliding?

Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.

What type of plate boundary is found a volcanic mountain range?

A volcanic mountain range is typically found at a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding. This collision can lead to the subduction of one plate beneath the other, resulting in the formation of magma that rises to the surface and creates volcanic activity.


What boundary type is cascade mountains?

The Cascade Mountains are a volcanic mountain range located in the western United States. They are considered to be a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding.


What mountain range resulted from North America and Africa colliding with each other?

The mountain range that resulted from North America and Africa colliding with each other was the Appalachian Mountain range. This mountain range began forming during the time of Pangaea at which time North America and Africa were connected. The Appalachian Mountains span an area of 1,500 miles and the highest point of this range is 6,684 feet.
