  • Where are Fold Mountains primarily distributed?

    Along plate margins where continental crust is being uplifted
  • What type of plate margins are associated with the formation of Fold Mountains?

    Destructive margins and collision margins
  • Which mountain range is an example of Fold Mountains formed at collision margins?

    The Himalayas
  • What is the relationship between ocean trenches and subduction zones?

    Ocean trenches are located at subduction zones where oceanic crust descends below continental crust
  • What is the "Pacific Ring of Fire" known for?

    It is known for its ocean trenches and volcanic activity
  • What are some examples of young Fold Mountains?

    The Himalayas, Rockies, Andes, and Alps
  • How do Ocean Trenches relate to the ocean's depth?

    They form some of the deepest parts of the ocean
  • What geological processes contribute to the formation of Ocean Trenches?

    Subduction and slab pull
  • What happens when both Fold Mountains and Ocean Trenches occur in the same location?

    They are associated with subduction and destructive plate margins
  • What occurs when Fold Mountains are found by themselves?

    They are in areas where collision is taking place
  • What are the main characteristics of Fold Mountains and Ocean Trenches?

    • Fold Mountains: Formed by the collision of tectonic plates
    • Ocean Trenches: Formed at subduction zones
    • Both result from plates moving towards each other
