Does ocean to ocean collision make mountains?
No. It is the collision between two tectonic plates that can cause mountains. For example: when the Indian plate collided into the European plate, the Himalayan mountains were formed.
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
The movement of tectonic plates in opposite directions is referred to as a divergent boundary.
What created the Himalayan mountains?
Two tectonic plates colliding .
Which of the following created the Himalayan Mountains?
two tectonic plates colliding
Where does Gravity pulls tectonic playes?
The Himalayan range is example of a divergent plate boundary
What is the geographical location of the mountains Describe them briefly?
Mountains usually occur at the boundary between two of the Earth's tectonic plates that are colliding. This occurs famously in India/Pakistan where the Indian subcontinent is moving north into the Asian plate forming the Himalayan mountain chain.
What are the Himalayan mountains a result of?
The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.
Why does the Himalayan mountains keep growing at a constant rate?
It does because the tectonic plates keep moving more upward in that area
The Himalayan Mountains are the tectonic product of a collision between India and Eurasia that began in Eocene time and still continues?
True
Does ocean to ocean collision make mountains?
No. It is the collision between two tectonic plates that can cause mountains. For example: when the Indian plate collided into the European plate, the Himalayan mountains were formed.
What is an example of an active continent to continent collision?
I can't give you a continent to continent but I can give you tectonic plate to tectonic plate. The Indian-Australian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian plate to form the Himalayan Mountains.
What type of boundary is the Ural mountains?
The Ural mountains are a theoretical boundary only. They are not on a plate boundary. They have traditionally marked the border between Europe and Asia, but this is an historical and notional boundary, from before our ideas of continents were based on tectonic plates. In fact Europe and Asia are one unit, often called Eurasia.
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
