<u>Answer:</u>

Andes mountain range is not the result of continental-continental convergence.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Between two continental plates when a convergent boundary occurs, the more denser plate is subducted by the less denser one resulting in the formation of various land forms like mountain ranges, earthquakes, volcanoes.
  • This is known as continental-continental convergence.
  • Appalachians are the old mountain ranges formed as a 'result of collision' between North America and Europe continental plates.
  • Alps and Himalayas are also the 'result of continental plate collision'.
  • 'Andes mountains' are a result of oceanic - continental plate collision.

ZanzabumX [31]
That would just be called Weathering and Erosion. Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost shattering. Water gets into cracks and joints in bedrock.
