What else can I help you with?
Match the mountains with the type of collision that formed them?
Andes - continental oceanic aleutians - oceanic oceanic North American cordillera - arc continent Appalachians - continental continental
What type of plates collided to form the Andes Mountains on the west coast of South America?
The Andes were a result of the collision of the Nazca Plate & the South American Plate.
Which is a geographic example of a continental collision is?
The collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate that led to the formation of the Himalayas is a geographic example of a continental collision. This collision continues to uplift the Himalayas, creating some of the world's tallest mountains.
What types of lithosphere are colliding to produce the Andes mountains?
collision
How were the Andes mountain and south America mountain formed?
the andes mountains were formed by a continental collision
How were the Andes in South America formed?
The Andes are formed by the collision of the Nazca Plate (oceanic) and the South American Plate (continental). The collision causes the continental crust to buckle and form fold mountains which are then peppered with volcanoes caused by melting of the Nazca plate as it is forced down into the Earth's mantle.
The Andes mountain range is an example of?
Andes mountains are an example of?
What type of mountains are produced by ocean continetial convergence?
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, it results in the formation of coastal mountain ranges, such as the Andes in South America and the Cascades in North America. This collision causes the oceanic plate to subduct beneath the continental plate, leading to the uplift and deformation of the continental crust, forming high mountain ranges.
Why are the Andes mountains famous?
The Andes are formed by the collision of the Nazca Plate (oceanic) and the South American Plate (continental). The collision causes the continental crust to buckle and form fold mountains which are then peppered with volcanoes caused by melting of the Nazca plate as it is forced down into the Earth's mantle.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/How_were_the_Andes_in_South_America_formed#ixzz1eY04zxdV
The Andes Mountains are an example of mountain building activity at which type of plate boundary?
The Andes Mountains are an example of mountain building activity at a convergent plate boundary, where the South American plate is colliding with the Nazca plate. This collision has led to the uplift and formation of the Andes mountain range.
What plate collide to form the Andes mountains?
The Andes are a result of the collision of the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate.
Which mountains were 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.
