Yes. The tectonics are pushed together and the parts that connect are pushed up and made into mountains. But this only works if the two plates are of equal density, otherwise the denser plate will sink under neath the other plate. The oceanic plates are denser but thinner, and the continental plates are thicker but less dense.
What else can I help you with?
What process is most responsible for building California and mountains?
Plate tectonics can create mountains. Plate Tectonics can also cause earthquakes in California.
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
What physical process mainly formed the Great Smoky Mountains?
Plate tectonics
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges around the world. Movement of the Earth's plates can also trigger tsunamis and affect the climate by creating ocean currents and shifting continents.
What are the Effects of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics can cause a number of things. This includes earthquakes when two plates grind together. Earthquakes occur along fault lines, which is why California gets a lot of earthquakes. It is along the San Andreas Fault. Plate tectonics can also cause mountains or volcanoes when one plate goes under another one. That is still happening in most mountain ranges, which is why Mount Everest grows a bit each year. Islands can also occur, but I don't know the specifics.
What process is most responsible for building California and mountains?
Plate tectonics can create mountains. Plate Tectonics can also cause earthquakes in California.
How are mountains formed by plate tectonics?
Mountains are formed by plate tectonics when tectonic plates collide or move past each other. This movement can cause the Earth's crust to fold, buckle, or uplift, creating mountain ranges.
Why are mountains lacated where they are?
Mountains are formed when the plate tectonics overlap
How earthquakes volcanoes and mountain's formation are related to plate tectonics?
Earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains are formed via plate tectonics. When the large continental plates collide, they either cause temporary earthquakes, or more permanent features such as volcanoes and mountains.
How can non-volcanic mountains be created by plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics create mountains by shifting. They ran into each other and the crashes created solid mountains. Mountains are like wrinkles in the earth.
What is the process when mountains are formed again?
Plate Tectonics.
Samilarties and differences between volvano and plate tectonics?
Volcanos are mountains in which lava comes out and plate tectonics is the theory of plates moving.
How do plate tectonics cause earth quakes?
Plate tectonics move. But the plate margin that cause strong earthquakes are collision and conservative plate margins. I hope it helped!
What the earth would be like with no plate tectonics?
Their would be no mountains.
Do plate tectonics cause earthquake?
yes
Are the plate tectonics constantly moving and when they do does it always cause an earthquake?
Plate tectonics are always moving! they usually do have something to do with earthquakes!
What is the cause of plate tectonics and some of its effects?
Mountains, Volcanoes, and moving continents for a potential Pangaea.Tectonic plates move because they rest on magma which is fluid.
