How does a volcano differ from other kinds of depositional mountains?
Volcanoes are different from other mountains because they are built by deposits (magma), whereas other mountains are built by erosion. Volcanoes have lava, whereas other depositional mountains do not, even though they may have hot spots.
Where is place between mountains where roads can be built?
A valley is the area between mountains where roads can be built. Valleys provide a naturally occurring path with less steep terrain compared to the mountains themselves, making it easier to construct roads for transportation purposes.
What process are mountain ranges and belts built through?
Mountain ranges and belts are typically built through the process of tectonic plate collision. When two plates converge, they can create immense pressure and forces that push the Earth's crust upwards, forming mountains. This process can involve folding, faulting, and volcanic activity, resulting in the formation of mountain ranges and belts over millions of years.
How are up walked mountains formed?
Up walked mountains are formed when pressure is built up and pressure is pushed down. This causes the land to become uneven and form a mountain.
Cause and effect what are three ways that mountains are built?
Volcanic mountains are formed either through the introduction and accumulation of magma over a crustal "hot spot" or through volcanic activity associated with the collision and subduction of a crustal plate, where the melting of the subducted crust creates gasses and pressures that are released in eruptions. Continental crustal plate collisions, where neither plate subducts, create mountain ranges such as The Himalayan Mountain Range, where crustal material is thrust upward faster than erosion can wear it down. Plates can stretch until they crack and slide, forming fault-block mountains. In the ocean, great underwater mountains are formed when plates spread away from one another, and melted rock pushes up through the gap.
Which Japanese built ship is attempting to drill through the Earths surface?
The Chikyu research vessel
what process are mountain ranges and belts built?
Mountain ranges and belts are built through a process called orogenesis
How long did it take to get the transcontinental railroad built through the Sierra Mountains?
Approximately 2 years.
Are all tunnels built under water?
No. Lots are built through pieces of land, like ones through hills and mountains, in order to shorten journey times and provide a way of getting through difficult terrain.
Which mountains are formed by the eruption of magma on earths surface?
Volcanic mountains are formed by the eruption of magma on Earth's surface. These mountains are built up from layers of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials that accumulate during eruptions. Some examples of volcanic mountains include Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount St. Helens in the United States.
Who built the rocky mountains?
No person "built" the Rocky Mountains! Mountains form from a geological process, typically from folding of the earth's surface and sub-surface.
Who built the hanging walls of Babylon?
The hanging gardens of Babylon were built by Nebuchadnezzar for his wife. She missed her life in the mountains where she was from, and he built it to remind her of her life in the mountains.
What process causes mountains to be built?
Mountains are built through the process of plate tectonics, where two tectonic plates collide, causing the Earth's crust to be forced upwards. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges through either folding or faulting of the Earth's crust. Over millions of years, erosion and other geological processes can further shape and build the mountains.
What was the name of the Inca city that was built by Inca ruler Pachacuti It was built in the Andes Mountains and had elaborate buildings?
The place that Pachuti built on the Andes mountains is called Machu Pichu.
What is tunnel and its uses?
Tunnels are long underground passageways that carry highways, railroads, and pipelines under mountains, seas, and rivers.The tunnel was drilled right through the mountains so cars and trucks could pass through. Tunnels can be built underground to carry people. Tunnels are also built to carry waste water away from the city.
What are three accomplishments?
-Built a massive empire along the Andes Mountain Range. -Impressive agriculture (we wouldn't have gotten our potatoes if it weren't for the Incas!). -Built a road system through the empire and its mountains.
What is muscle compression?
Muscle compression is a deep massaging of the muscle. It is pushing and compressing the muscle to release the tension that has built up in the muscles.
