Which two tectonic plates are colliding causing the rise of the Andes Mountains?
The South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are colliding, causing the rise of the Andes Mountains through a process known as subduction. The Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the mountain range.
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
What is at a convergent boundary where two continental plates are presently colliding?
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
What type or mountain forms because of two oceanic plates colliding?
Aleutian
What type of mountain is formed when the earths crust is squeezed together?
It depends on the type of plates coming together but two continental plates will form a mountain chain. An example would be the Indian sub-continent colliding with Asia to form the Himalayas.
What two plates are colliding?
The Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate are currently colliding, forming the Himalayan mountain range.
What mountain range is an example of plates colliding?
The Himalayas is an example of a mountain range formed by the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. The collision between these two plates has uplifted the region, resulting in the formation of the tallest mountains on Earth.
Mountain ranges are often formed as a result of?
two plates of equal weight colliding

The South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are colliding, causing the rise of the Andes Mountains through a process known as subduction. The Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American Plate, leading to the formation of the mountain range.
What do two plates of equal density form mountain ranges along?
Along their colliding (convergent) boundary.
What boundary type is cascade mountains?
The Cascade Mountains are a volcanic mountain range located in the western United States. They are considered to be a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding.
What type of plate boundary is found a volcanic mountain range?
A volcanic mountain range is typically found at a convergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding. This collision can lead to the subduction of one plate beneath the other, resulting in the formation of magma that rises to the surface and creates volcanic activity.
What is at a convergent boundary where two continental plates are presently colliding?
Both Plates are pushed upwards and rocks are folded and faulted to form mountain ranges. For Example this occurred in Europe when the Eurasian and African plates collided to form the Alps. And a Subduction zone is formed when a continental and Oceanic plates collide as the oceanic plate is forced downwards into the mantle.
What is name of volcano that is caused by two oceanic plates colliding?
Trench volcano, resulting in island arc volcanic mountain chains.
What type or mountain forms because of two oceanic plates colliding?
Aleutian
How was Nevis formed?
it was formed by two tectonic plates colliding together and pushing up the ground just like any other mountain
How do earthquakes create mountain ranges?
Appalachian- two continents colliding North American Cordillera- terrane accretion Aleutian- oceanic convergence Andes- an oceanic plate and continental plate colliding
