Which two plates collide in the Appalachian mountains?
The pacific plate and the cocos plate
How was the alps formed by tectonic plate movement?
Here in New Zealand, the Southern Alps are caused by the Pacific Plate thrusting underneath the Australian Plate. i think that the alps were created by a convergent boundry. But with two convintal plates causing an upward push of both.Example __><__ _/\_
Is the northern alps a convergent boundary?
Yes, the Northern Alps are formed at a convergent boundary where the Eurasian Plate and African Plate meet. The collision between these two plates causes uplift and the formation of mountain ranges such as the Alps.
When the north American plate collided with the pacific plate what did it create?
The collision between the North American plate and the Pacific plate created the Cascade Range of mountains along the western coast of North America. This collision also led to the formation of the Juan de Fuca Plate and the subduction zone along the western edge of the North American plate, where volcanic activity occurs.
What were two results of the subduction of the farallon plate?
The subduction of the Farallon Plate led to the formation of the Cascade Range of mountains in the Pacific Northwest due to volcanic activity. It also contributed to the development of the San Andreas Fault in California, which is a major transform fault boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
What mountain chain was caused by the collision of the Eurasian or African continental plates with the North American Plates?
The mountain range in which the eurasian and the African plate collide are called the alps!
What are the alps mountains made of?
rock crust from the pasific plate
Are Alps example of fold mountains?
Yes, the Alps are an example of fold mountains. They were formed through the folding of rock layers caused by tectonic plate movements. The Alps are a prominent mountain range in Europe.
The Alps Urals and Appalachians are examples of what kind of mountains?
The Alps, Urals, and Appalachians are examples of fold mountains, which form due to tectonic plate movement and the folding of rock layers over time.
What plates form the Rocky Mountains?
The North American plate collided with the Pacific plate that created the rocky mountains.
What mountains are in the Alps Mountains?
there are 180 Mountains in the Alps! :)
Which two plates collide in the Appalachian mountains?
The pacific plate and the cocos plate
Which mountains would have to be created to get form northern Italy to Switzerland?
The Alps are the mountains that would have to be crossed.
What two plates are inter acting in the Andes mountains?
The Nazca plate and the Pacific plate
What are four types of folded mountains?
Appalachian Mountains: Formed when the North American Plate collided with the African Plate. Himalayas: Created by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. Andes Mountains: Resulted from the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. Alps: Formed where the African Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate.
What type of plate boundaries formed the San Gabriel mountains?
The San Gabriel Mountains were formed by the collision of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate along a transform boundary. The northward movement of the Pacific Plate scraping against the North American Plate created pressure and uplift that contributed to the formation of the mountains.
How did the mountains appear in Japan?
Japan is on the ring of fire, most of the mountains there are volcanos resulting from the subduction of the pacific plate under the asian plate.
