Which mountains form when two continental plates collide?
Folded mountains like the Himalayas, Appalachian, or
Alps
Volcanic Mountains like Hawaii

Try Again!
This is a volcano and is formed over hot spots, convergent boundaries,
and divergent boundaries
Back
Congratulations!
Folded mountains like the Himalayas and Appalachian are formed where two continental
plates converge or collide
Next Question
Which mountains form when two ocean plates collide?
A dome mountain like the Black Hills or Adirondack
An Island Arc like the Philippines, Japan, or
Aleutian Islands
Click on the correct image below
Try Again!
These are dome mountains and form when magma pushes
up layers of rock without erupting onto
the surface. These mountains form
wherever there is volcanic activity.

Congratulations!
Island Arcs like the Philippines, Japan, and the Aleutian
Islands form where two ocean
plates collide.
Next Question
Which mountain forms when a continental and oceanic
plate collide?
A Coastal Mountain like the Cascade Mountain
Range

Appalachian, or Alps

Congratulations!
Coastal mountains form where ocean plates collide with continental plates.
An example of these in our country are
the Cascade Mountains in the
Pacific North West
Next Question
Which mountain is formed when sections of rock are
uplifted?
Fault-block mountain like the Teton’s or Sierra
Nevada's
A volcano like Mt. Vesuvius

This is a volcano and is formed over
hot spots, convergent
boundaries, and divergent
boundaries
Back
Congratulations!
Fault block mountains form at
normal faults where chunks of rock are pushed up along
fault lines creating mountains like the Sierra Nevada’s or
Teton Mountain RangeNext
Question
Which type of mountains form over a
hot spot?
A volcano like Hawaii or Yellowstone
A dome mountain like the Black Hills or Adirondack
Mts.

wherever there is volcanic activity.

Congratulations!
Volcanic activity is sometimes caused by hot spots. These areas
are thought to exist because of unusually
hot places in the mantle that melt the crust above, creating
areas of volcanic activity like
Yellowstone, Hawaii, and about 40 other locations around the
globe.Next
Question
Which mountain form when two ocean plates
diverge?
Folded mountains like the Himalayas, Rockies or
Appalachian
Under water volcanoes like the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge

Congratulations!
Submarine or underwater volcanoes
like the mid-ocean ridge form where two ocean plates are separating.
New ocean crust is formed in these areas. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge
runs down the center of the Atlantic ocean and is
the longest mountain chain in the world. Next
