the Atlantic plate sliding under the north American plate over 300 million years ago
it can be caused by many things, such as hot spots, convergent plate boundaries, and divergent plate boundaries
The Appalachian mountains were formed as a result of a collision between the North American plate and the African plate during the Paleozoic era. This collision caused the uplift and folding of rocks that eventually formed the mountain range we see today.
They're on the north American plate.
The pacific plate and the cocos plate
No, the Andes are near a subduction zone type plate edge but the Appalachian Mountains are not near any plate edge of any kind.
Mountains form at convergent plate boundaries.
Mountains are often formed at plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide. This collision can cause one plate to be forced upward, leading to the formation of mountains. The uplifted plate may undergo further geological processes, such as folding and faulting, which contribute to the mountain-building process.
convergent plate boundaries
Appalachian Mountains
Mountains - formed by convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and are pushed upward. Rift valleys - formed by divergent plate boundaries where plates move apart, creating a depression in the earth's crust. Faults - fractures in the earth's crust caused by plates rubbing against each other. Folded mountains - created by the folding of rock layers due to compression at convergent plate boundaries. Volcanoes - formed at convergent and divergent plate boundaries where magma rises to the surface through the crust.
