Metamorphism is commonly associated with mountain building?
true
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
What is an example of mountain boundary?
Himalayas
What type of convergent boundary is the Himalaya mountain formed by?
Continental Collision Boundary
Which of the mountain chains form a boundary with the Canadian shield?
The Appalachian mountain.
Metamorphism is commonly associated with mountain building?
true
What type of plate boundary occurs when plates come together?
Convergent boundary, which in this case would lead to mountain building (as in the Himalayas)
What are continental mountain ranges associated with?
Plate tectonics, (inter-continental plate collision).
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
What type of boundary produces mountain?
convergent plate boundary
What type of boundary causes mountains?
Mountain-building is a result of continental collision, so destructive plate boundaries. One plate is destroyed by subduction below the other, which undergoes compression, buckling and uplift as the collision continues. This is happening at present in Asia, raising the Himalayan Mountains.
How do mountain building and volcanoes relate to plate motion at converge NT boundaries?
they are both formed by converging plates at a BOUNDARY THAT PUSH UP THE EARTH
What is the mountain range in south America formed at a convergent plate boundary that is associated with earthquakes?
The Andes Mountains. These are generally on the west side of the South American continent.
Which of the mountain chains from a boundary with the Canadian Shield?
The Appalachian mountain.
What is an example of mountain boundary?
Himalayas
What mountain is the natural boundary between Europe and Asia?
There are actually two mountain ranges that act as a boundary, the Ural Mountains and the Caucuses.
What kind of boundary is the cascade range located at?
The Cascade Range is located at a convergent boundary, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This subduction causes volcanic activity and mountain building in the region.
