Which phenomena is responsible for the formation of the highest mountains?
The phenomenon responsible for the formation of the highest mountains is Tectonism. This is caused mostly as a result the collision movements of various lithospheric plates. The process of formation of the mountains is termed Orogeny.
Why the Appalachian mountains smooth and rounded?
Erosion after millions of years have caused the jagged edges to smooth out. Hi
Is urals mountain a fold mountain?
Yes, the Ural Mountains are classified as fold mountains. They were formed through the collision of tectonic plates, which caused folding and uplift of the Earth's crust. The Ural Mountains separate Europe and Asia and run approximately 1,550 miles in length.
What natural occurrences causes mountains to form or disappear?
Mountains form due to tectonic plate movements, such as colliding or shifting plates, that push the Earth's crust upwards. Mountains can also be caused by volcanic activity. Erosion, weathering, and geological processes like subduction can contribute to the natural disappearance of mountains over time.
Which type of rainfall is caused by mountains in the way?
Rainfall in mountain areas is called: Orographic rainfall.
How non-volcanic mountains are created by plate tectonics?
Non-volcanic mountains are caused when continental plates converge.

Where are mountains from?
Mountains are caused by the uplift of landmasses either by volcanic action or by continental plates colliding.
What caused the slow erosion of the Appalachians mountains?

What caused the Appalachian Mountains to be lower and rounder than most mountains?
The Appalachian Mountains are a much older mountain range and have been through more weathering and erosion than most mountains.
Why don't mountains lose height?
Mountains don't lose height due to the continual upthrust caused by the plates coming together which caused them to form in the first place. Indeed, many if not most mountains are still growing rather than losing height.
Which one of these mountains ranges alps Himalayas Appalachian or great basin were caused by folding?
The alps were caused by folding
Which geological event most likely caused the Appalachian Mountains to form?
The collision of tectonic plates during the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea is the most likely geological event that caused the Appalachian Mountains to form. Approximately 480 million years ago, the collision between the North American and African plates caused the mountains to uplift.
What is the biggest mountain caused your colliding continental plates?
The Himalayan mountains.
Are mountains caused by plate interactions?
Often times yes, but not always.
