Folded mountains typically occur at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide. This collision causes the Earth's crust to buckle and fold, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges. Notable examples include the Himalayas, formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
What else can I help you with?
What is plate collision?
A collision boundary is two plates colliding at each other creating a subduction zone. The heavier/slower plate dives 20-60 degrees down from the surface and the lighter/faster plate is crushed and forms folded mountains along the boundary.
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
The formation of mountains is most likely to occur at a blank plate boundary?
The formation of mountains is most likely to occur at a convergent plate boundary. At these boundaries, tectonic plates collide, leading to the uplift of the Earth's crust, which can result in the formation of mountain ranges. This process is exemplified by the Himalayas, which were formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
The Himalaya mountains were formed in a collision of what boundary?
The Himalaya mountains were formed in a collision of the Indian Plate pushing into the Eurasian Plate, in a convergent boundary known as a continental collision.
Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.
What type of plate boundary produces folded mountains?
Folded mountains are typically formed at convergent plate boundaries, where two plates collide and compress the Earth's crust, causing rocks to be pushed together and folded. These mountains are characterized by tightly packed layers of rock that have been deformed and uplifted due to the tectonic forces at work.
What plate boundary feature is associated with the compressive forces?
High folded mountains where two plates are pushing toward each other
What type of plate boundary is the Andes mountains?
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
What kind of plate boundary causes mountains to form?
The plate boundary that causes mountains to form is called a convergent boundary.
What is plate collision?
A collision boundary is two plates colliding at each other creating a subduction zone. The heavier/slower plate dives 20-60 degrees down from the surface and the lighter/faster plate is crushed and forms folded mountains along the boundary.
What is the plate boundary of the himalaya mountains?
Convergent Boundary.
What type of plate boundary form of mountains?
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
Which plate boundary creates mountains?
convergent plate boundaries
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
What is the boundary of the Andes?
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What type of mountain would you expect to find at a convergent boundary?
Convergent boundaries are where plates move into one another. When the Indian Plate collided with the harder Eurasian Plate the Indian Plate went underneath and raised up the Eurasian Plate to form the Himalayas.
