Which is a true statement about the process of accretion?
It enlarges continental landmasses and forms mountains along the edges of continents.
What body of water and landform are the eastern and western boundaries of the territory gained from the Louisana Purchase?
East in Mississippi River and West in Rocky Mountains
Who was the Laurentian Divide named after?
Laurentia lends it's name to the Laurentian Divide. Laurentia is part of the continental crust that forms North America. The Laurentian Divide is a fault line that disects Laurentia. Laurentia is named after the Laurentian Shield.
What is a specific example of what forms as a result of a shift in a convergent boundary?
at an oceanic to continental convergent boundary trenches and volcanic mountains can form. at an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary trenches and volcanic islands can form. at a continental to continental convergent boundary fold mountains can form
Continental Ice Shelves are forms of?
glaciers
What forms at continental-continental plate boundries?
Mountains

Which states does the continental divide cross?
In the United States, the Continental Divide of the Americas crosses Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. It also forms the eastern third of the boundary separating Idaho and Montana.
What mountain range forms from one continent to antarctica?
You may be thinking of the spine of the Continental Divide of the Americas, which serves to drain geography to two different oceans: the Atlantic and the Pacific. However, Antarctica has no continental divide. The distance between the tip of Argentina and the Antarctic Peninsula -- Drake Passage -- may be the image you're attempting to describe.

What are 2 different convergent boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergent boundary: Where oceanic plates subduct beneath continental plates, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate. Continental-continental convergent boundary: Where two continental plates collide, causing intense folding and faulting to create mountain ranges. An example is the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, forming the Himalayas.
How does a mountain belt evolve into art of a continental shield?
A mountain belt forms from the collision of tectonic plates, creating fold mountains. Over time, erosion and tectonic processes flatten the mountains, transforming the mountain belt into a continental shield characterized by a large, stable continental core with little tectonic activity or deformation.
What are the major continental land forms?
the major continental land forms are the seven continents.
What forms or happens when two continental plates collide?
When two continental plates collide, they can crumple and fold to form mountain ranges. This process is known as continental collision or orogenesis. The collision can also lead to seismic activity such as earthquakes and the formation of deep crustal roots.
What Coral reefs forms in which portion of the continental margin?
Continental Shelf
When continental crust begins to separate what forms?
A rift forms.
