What mountain ranges were the result of continental-continental convergence?
Some examples of mountain ranges created by continental-continental convergence are the Himalayas (resulting from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates) and the Alps (formed by the collision of African and Eurasian plates).
Which mountain ranges was the result continental continental convergence?
The Andes
Which mountains were formed as a result of ocean continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
What continental mountain ranges are usually associated with?
Some continental mountain ranges are usually associated with forming as a result of tectonic plate collisions or convergent boundaries. These processes involve the plates pushing against each other, leading to the uplift of the Earth's crust and the formation of mountain ranges. Examples include the Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, and the Rocky Mountains in North America.
Where are convergent located?
generally in mountain ranges

Complex mountain systems such as the Himalayas?
are the result of continental-continental convergence (:
What mountain chain is a result of continental-continental convergence?
its the himialahs appalicans and albines

Complex mountain systems such as the Himalayas are the result of?
Complex mountain systems like the Himalayas are the result of tectonic plate collisions, specifically the Indo-Australian plate colliding with the Eurasian plate. The force from the collision causes the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, forming the towering peaks and deep valleys characteristic of mountain ranges.
Mountain ranges did not form as a result of continent collision?
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.
Which mountains were formed as a result of ocean-continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains in South America and the Cascades Range in North America were formed as a result of ocean-continental convergence. These mountains were created through the subduction of oceanic plates beneath continental plates, leading to the uplift of land and the formation of mountain ranges.
What plate collisions would most likely result in the formation of the most extensive mountain ranges?
The collision of tectonic plates with continental crust is most likely to result in the formation of extensive mountain ranges. This is because the thicker and less dense continental crust tends to crumple and fold when subjected to compression from plate movements, leading to the uplift of mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Alps.
What is it called when tectonic plates move closer?
When tectonic plates move closer together, it is called plate convergence. This can result in the formation of features like mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.
A collision between two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary produces a?
Typically continental plate convergence will result in an orogeny event, or a mountain building event. As the plates converge, the crust will deform, but there will be no plate subduction, and so continent to continent convergence is not related to volcanism. Large thrust faults are often associated with continental convergence zones as well.
