How can you tell where the geographical boundaries of a watershed are?

Geographical boundaries of a watershed can be identified by tracing the high points or ridgelines surrounding a particular area. Water within these boundaries will flow towards a common outlet, such as a river or lake, creating a distinct drainage basin. Maps and topographical features can help determine the boundaries of a watershed.


What type of mountains form at convergent boundaries where to oceanic plates meet?

Oceanic-continental convergent boundaries form mountains with a volcanic origin, such as the Andes in South America. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries create volcanic island arcs, like the Japanese archipelago.

Where do volcanic mountains commonly form?

Volcanic mountains commonly form along plate boundaries, specifically at subduction zones where oceanic plates sink beneath continental plates or other oceanic plates. They can also form at divergent boundaries where plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise to the surface and create volcanic activity.

What are the names of the high mountains in Belfast caused by convergent boundaries?

Belfast is not known for high mountains resulting from convergent boundaries, as it is located in Northern Ireland, where the geology is shaped more by sedimentary processes and regional uplift than by tectonic activities typical of convergent boundaries. The Mourne Mountains, located to the south of Belfast, are the highest in the region, but they primarily formed from volcanic activity and glacial erosion rather than direct tectonic convergence.


A high place from which rivers flow is what vocab word?

The vocab word you're looking for is "watershed." A watershed is an area of land where all of the water that falls within it drains into a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean. It often refers to high places, such as mountains or ridges, from which rivers originate and flow down into lower areas.


Where are mountains usually located?
