You would expect to find a mountain range in regions where tectonic plates collide, such as along plate boundaries like the Himalayas (where the Indian plate collides with the Eurasian plate) or the Rocky Mountains (formed by the North American plate and Pacific plate).
You would use a topographic map to find the elevation of a mountain range. Topographic maps show the shape of the land's surface, including mountains, valleys, and elevation through contour lines.
You would find Europe's largest mountain range, the Alps, on a physical map due to its geographical features. Political maps typically show boundaries, cities, and countries, rather than physical features like mountain ranges.
The Andes mountain range runs along the western coast of South America, so you would find it in the continent of South America.
The Grampians are a mountain range in Scotland (Europe).
You would expect to find long mountain ranges, such as the Andes, along the west coast of South America. This is because the region is located along a convergent plate boundary where the South American Plate is colliding with the Nazca Plate, leading to intense tectonic activity and the uplift of large mountain ranges.
You would expect to find a volcanic mountain range, known as an island arc, as a result of the subduction of one oceanic plate beneath the other. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic activity, and the uplift of magma, creating a chain of volcanic islands.
No, folded mountain ranges are typically found in areas of continental collision, where tectonic plates are pushed together and the crust is folded and uplifted. Mid-ocean ridges are divergent plate boundaries, where plates are moving apart and new oceanic crust is being created, so folded mountain ranges would not be expected there.

They thought that they would find woolly mammoths, erupting volcanoes and a mountain of pure salt.
You would expect to find the precipitation on the windward slope, which in this case would be the south side of the mountain. As the air rises and cools when it hits the mountain, it reaches its dew point and condenses into precipitation. This leaves the leeward side, or the north side in this scenario, in a rain shadow with less precipitation.
At the highest elevations to the north of Coronado's route, you would expect to find rugged mountainous terrain, likely part of a mountain range. These areas may have snow-capped peaks, steep slopes, and rocky outcrops, indicating high altitude and challenging terrain.
