Both a trench and a mountain range are geological formations that involve the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust. Trenches are long, narrow depressions often found at convergent plate boundaries where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. Mountain ranges are formed by the collision of tectonic plates or the uplifting of the Earth's crust, resulting in elevated landforms.

What is the name of the mountain range that lies near a trench?
The Andes mountain range is located near the Peru-Chile Trench in South America.
Which is greater - the elevation of the highest mountain above sea level or the depth of the deepest ocean trench below sea level?
The deepest trench is greater than the highest mountain. Mount Everest is the highest mountain peak at 8.848 km, and the deepest trench is the Mariana trench which, at its deepest, is 10.911 km.
Match mountain range with its type of formation?
Folded mountain range - Appalachians Fault-block mountain range - Sierra Nevada Volcanic mountain range - Andes Dome mountain range - Black Hills
What are a row of mountains called?

What is a row of mountains called?
A row of mountains is called a mountain range. This term refers to a series of connected mountains or hills that form a continuous elevated line. Mountain ranges can span great distances and often have distinct peaks and valleys.
What is the name of the mountain range that lies near a trench?
The Andes mountain range is located near the Peru-Chile Trench in South America.
What kind of plate boundary forms a mountain rainge and a deep ocean trench like the Andes Mountain Range and Peru-Chile trench?
oceanic-continental convergence
What does mountain range mountain belt and mountain system all have in common?
They are TALL!!
Why did the volcanic Marianas Islands form to the west of the Marianas trench?
They formed to the west of the trench because that is where the submerged mountain range is. The islands are volcanic due to the water the islands carry under the Mariana plate.
What is the common noun alps?
The common nouns for the word Alps are mountains or mountain range.
What is the difference in a trench and a ridge?
Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.
Which mountain range can you find condors in?
You find condors throughout the Andes mountain range in South America. The most common of condors there is the Andean condor.
What does worlds highest mountain range and worlds deepest point have in common?
Both the world's highest mountain range (the Himalayas) and the world's deepest point (the Mariana Trench) were formed through tectonic plate movements. The Himalayas were created by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, whereas the Mariana Trench was formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Mariana Plate. They both represent extreme geological features of the Earth's surface.
What mountain range serperates Europe from Asia?
The Urals Mountain Range separates Europe and Asia. Mountain slides are very common there as the mountains are very steep like the Himalayan Mountain Range. It also has some of the largest peaks in the world and that's what attracts tourists.
What is formed when two plates collide into each other?
It depends on the type of crust involved. If both plates carry oceanic crust, an ocean trench is formed along with a volcanic island are on the overriding plate. If one plate carries oceanic crust and the other continental, you will get an ocean trench, a continental volcanic arc, and a mountain range. If both plates carry continental crust, then a mountain range is formed.
What are examples convergent boundary?
Examples of convergent boundaries include the Himalayan mountain range (where the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate), the Andes mountain range (where the South American Plate is subducting under the Nazca Plate), and the Mariana Trench (where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the Mariana Plate).
Where is the Zlaitbor mountain range located?
The Zlatibor mountain range is located in the west part of Serbia. It is part of the Dinaric Alps. The area is common for tourists, with hotels, cottages and skiing available.
