<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.

Each pyramids four side are evenly split from base to tip by very sublet from base to tip by very subtle concave indentations. This discovery was made by British air forces pilot.There are two entrances to the pyramids of Giza. One is next to great pyramid,near the Marriott mane house hotel.

Why are there mountains along the west coast of North and South America
densk [106]

On the West coast of North America, the coast ranges and the coastal plain form the margin. Most of the land is made of terranes that have been accreted onto the margin. In the north, the insular belt is an accreted terrane, forming the margin. This belt extends from the Wrangellia Terrane in Alaska to the Chilliwack group of Canada.

A rupture in Rodinia 750 million years ago formed a passive margin in the eastern Pacific Northwest. The breakup of Pangea 200 million years ago began the westward movement of the North American plate, creating an active margin on the western continent. As the continent drifted West, terranes were accreted onto the west coast. The timing of the accretion of the insular belt is uncertain, although the closure did not occur until at least 115 million years ago.Other Mesozoic terranes that accreted onto the continent include the Klamath Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, and the Guerrero super-terrane of western Mexico.80 to 90 million years ago the subducting Farallon plate split and formed the Kula Plate to the North. This formed an area in what is now Northern California, where the plates converged forming a Mélange. North of this was the Columbia Embayment, where the continental margin was east of the surrounding areas.Many of the major batholiths date from the late Cretaceous. As the Laramide Orogeny ended around 48 million years ago, the accretion of the Siletzia terrane began in the Pacific Northwest. This began the volcanic activity in the Cascadia subduction zone, forming the modern Cascade Range, and lasted into the Miocene. Events here may relate to the ignimbrite flare-up of the southern Basin and Range. As extension in the Basin and Range Province slowed by a change in North American Plate movement circa 7 to 8 Million years ago, rifting began on the Gulf of California.
