What is the tectonic plat that pushes against the Eurasian plate to form the alps and other geographical features?
The tectonic plate that pushes against the Eurasian Plate to form the Alps is the African Plate. As the African Plate moves northward, it collides with the Eurasian Plate, resulting in the uplift and formation of mountain ranges like the Alps. This tectonic activity is part of the larger process of continental collision and mountain building known as orogeny.
What two plates crashed together to form the alps?
The Alps are a result of the collision between Africanand European tectonic plates, during which the western part of the Tethys Ocean, (which was formerly in between these continents), disappeared.
How do the alps form?

Where is the rocky mountains located and how do they form?
the rocky mountains are located in North America. A long time ago, there was one big continent on the planet earth and soon enough, it drifted apart into plates. When those plates crashed together, they forced the earth's crust to go up, and over time the plates were pushed together so much, it forced them really high and they formed the Rocky mountains.
