What else can I help you with?
How were the Andes mountains and other mountain chains formed?
by tectonic plates colliding
Which type of mountain is formed by colliding continents?
The type of mountain that is formed by colliding continents is the upward mountain.
The Himalayas and the Appalachian Mountains were both formed by colliding continental plates How do scientists know that the Appalachians were formed before the Himalayas?
Scientists can determine the relative timing of mountain formation through methods like radiometric dating of the rocks that make up the mountains. By dating the age of the rocks in the Appalachian Mountains and the Himalayas, scientists have been able to determine that the Appalachians were formed much earlier, around 480 million years ago, while the Himalayas began forming around 50 million years ago.
What era was the Appalachians mountains formed?
Mountains first appeared in the Paleozoic Era.
What are valconoes?
sasukelover21- valconoes are mountains that have been formed by plates colliding to eachother. this causes the land to go upward and make a mountain. this is the same for other mountains that are not valcanoe's.
Which mountain formed by two continents colliding?
The Ural Mountains were formed by the collision of the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates, marking the boundary between Europe and Asia.
True or false The Appalachians the oldest North American mountains are an example of upwarped mountains.?
True. The Appalachians are the oldest mountain range in North America, and they are an example of upwarped mountains formed by the uplift of the earth's crust. This uplift created long ridges and valleys that characterize the Appalachian region.
Are the Appalachians volcanic?
No. The Appalachians are primarily fold mountains formed by one of several continental collisions that led to the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea.
What is the mountain range that formed the western boundary of the original states?
Appalachians <3
How were the Appalachians formed?
The Appalachians were formed by layers of sedimentary rock uplifting and folding. Basically North America collided with Europe and Northern Africa.
How does a fold mountain form is there a diagram?
•Fold mountains are mountains formed by 2 tectonic plates colliding with each other and forcing each other up through the earth but this process takes millions of years.
Which type of mountain is formed because of two oceanic plates colliding?
Island arc mountains are formed when one oceanic plate is subducted beneath another oceanic plate, creating a volcanic island arc.
