Sierra Nevada mountain range formed as a result of?
ocean-continent convergence
Which single ocean encircles an entire continent?
The Southern Ocean encircles the continent of Antarctica. It is the fourth-largest ocean and is defined by its unique boundaries, including the Antarctic Convergence and the 60° S latitude line.
Were the Andes mountains formed as a result of ocean continental convergence?
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
At a continent-continent convergence .?
folded mountains are produced
What is continent continent convergence?
Where ocean and continents meet
What are the three different types of convergent plate boundaries?
The three types of convergent plate boundaries are oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. Oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two oceanic plates collide, resulting in the formation of volcanic island arcs. Oceanic-continental convergence happens when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, creating volcanic mountain ranges. Continental-continental convergence involves the collision of two continental plates, leading to the formation of large mountain ranges.
What happens at Continent-continent convergence?
Folded mountains form
What mountains are produced at continent- continent convergence?
Mountains produced at continent-continent convergence are called fold mountains. These mountains are formed when two continental plates collide and the rocks are compressed, folded, and uplifted to form large mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas.
Ocean convergence produces what?
Ocean convergence occurs when two ocean currents come together. This can lead to the uplift of deep water and the formation of upwelling zones, which can bring nutrients to the surface and support marine productivity.
What does an ocean-ocean convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
What are the different types of convergent plate boundary?
ocean-ocean ocean-continent continent-continent
What are the limits of Indian Ocean?
The Indian Ocean is bounded by several geographical features: to the north by the Indian subcontinent, to the west by the African continent, to the east by the Australian continent, and to the south by the Southern Ocean. Its northern limit is generally considered to be the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, while the southern limit is typically defined by the Antarctic convergence. The ocean covers an area of approximately 70.56 million square kilometers, making it the third-largest ocean in the world.
