they are formed when the tectonic plates are shifted
Folded mountains are formed when land is subjected to compressional forces. These forces cause the rock layers to bend and fold, creating uplifted mountain ranges. Over time, erosion can expose these folded layers, revealing the history of tectonic activity.
Some islands are formed by volcanoes, but most are not.
The Hawaiian Islands are formed by the ocean structures known as submarine volcanoes. They continue to build the Pacific islands.
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by volcanic activity originating from a hotspot in the Earth's mantle beneath the Pacific tectonic plate. As the plate moved northwest over the hotspot, a series of volcanoes formed, creating the islands. As the plate continued to move, new islands formed in the chain, with the oldest islands towards the northwest and the youngest towards the southeast.
Thousands of islands have been formed by undersea volcanoes including the Hawaiian Islands, the Galapagos, many of the western Antilles, the Aleutian Islands, the Philippines, the South Sandwich Islands, the Canary Islands, the Azores, the Marianas, and many others.
Folded mountains are formed when rock layers are bend under stress.
Folded mountains are formed by plates
sedimentary rocks
The great pyramid of Giza was made completely of lmestone.
Folded mountains are formed when rock layers are bend under stress.
the Cayman Islands were formed from an eruption of an underwater volcano.
they are formed when two plates move towards each othe and crash
Folded mountains are formed this way.
The Hawaiian Islands were formed and are still being formed right now by volcanic activity.
Yes, the Andes Mountain was formed by folding.
Volcanoes formed the Hawaiian Islands over millions and millions of years.
No, the Hawaiian Islands are not formed at a subduction boundary. They are formed by a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, where magma rises to the surface and creates volcanic islands as the tectonic plate moves over the hotspot.
