Where are
Fold Mountains
primarily distributed?
Along plate margins where
continental crust
is being uplifted
View source
What type of
plate margins
are associated with the formation of
Fold Mountains
?
Destructive margins
and
collision margins
View source
Which
mountain range
is an example of Fold Mountains formed at collision margins?
The
Himalayas
View source
What is the relationship between ocean trenches and
subduction zones
?
Ocean trenches are located at subduction zones where
oceanic crust
descends below
continental crust
View source
What is the "
Pacific Ring of Fire
" known for?
It is known for its
ocean trenches
and
volcanic activity
View source
What are some examples of young
Fold Mountains
?
The
Himalayas
,
Rockies
,
Andes
, and
Alps
View source
How do
Ocean Trenches
relate to the
ocean's
depth?
They form some of the deepest parts of the ocean
View source
What
geological
processes
contribute to the
formation
of
Ocean Trenches
?
Subduction
and
slab pull
View source
What happens when both
Fold Mountains
and
Ocean Trenches
occur in the same location?
They are associated with
subduction
and
destructive plate margins
View source
What occurs when
Fold Mountains
are found by themselves?
They are in areas where
collision
is taking place
View source
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
