A mountain belt can evolve into part of a continental shield through a process called erosion and tectonic stabilization. Over time, the mountains are eroded by geological processes, causing them to decrease in elevation and flatten out. As the tectonic activity in the area calms down, the rocks that formed the mountains become more stable and start to form a stable, relatively flat landmass known as a continental shield.

How does a mountain belt evolve into art of a continental shield?
A mountain belt forms from the collision of tectonic plates, creating fold mountains. Over time, erosion and tectonic processes flatten the mountains, transforming the mountain belt into a continental shield characterized by a large, stable continental core with little tectonic activity or deformation.
What place these features in order from smallest to largest mountain system mountain range mountain belt and mountain?
Mountain < Mountain range < Mountain system < Mountain belt.
Mountain ranges and mountain systems form a larger unit called a?
mountain belt.
Which city is not located within the American Manufacturing Belt the Continental Core Region?
Los Angeles is not located within the American Manufacturing Belt or the Continental Core Region.
What is a group of mountain ranges called?
A group of mountain ranges is called a mountain range system or a mountain chain.

What forms when two pieces of continental crust collide?
A Mountain belt.
Which is larger a mountain range a mountain belt or a mountain system?
A mountain belt is the largest.Then the mountain system is the next largest.Last the mountain range.
What place these features in order from smallest to largest mountain system mountain range mountain belt and mountain?
Mountain < Mountain range < Mountain system < Mountain belt.
What event caused the Himalaya mountain belt to form?
the collision of India with the continental land of Asia while the the continents where still in formation
When 2 plates collidewhat crustal formation is most likely to form?
If the two plates are continental crust then a mountain belt will form (eg the Himalayas), If one plate is continental crust and the other is oceanic crust then you will get a mountain chain on land and an oceanic trench in the adjacent ocean (eg the Andes).
Is a mountain belt or a mountain system larger?
A mountain system is larger than a mountain belt. A mountain belt typically refers to a linear range of mountains, while a mountain system encompasses multiple mountain ranges, plateaus, valleys, and other associated features within a larger geographic area.
Describe what happens when two plates carrying continental crust collide?
When two plates carrying continental crust collide, both plates crumple and fold due to the immense pressure. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges and earthquakes along the convergent boundary. The collision can also result in the subduction of one continental plate beneath the other, ultimately leading to the formation of a mountain belt.
Is a mountain system or mountain belt larger?
a mountain belt is larger but some text books do not say the answer. i am only in the 6th grade
What is larger a mountain belt or a mountain range?
mountain range is bigger :)
What does mountain range mountain belt and mountain system all have in common?
They are TALL!!
Why is a mountain belt bigger than a mountain system?
Because it is!
