Under the earths plates in the area known as the mantle the magma is constantly moving due to convection currents.]]> 2022-03-25 15:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114037963 Collision of the plates ciaranwhite2 https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114086614 Due to convections currents the earths plates are constantly moving and colliding. The area where the earths plates collide is called the collision zone. When a plate collides it causes a mountain to form in a process called folding leading to a fold mountain range being created. ]]> 2022-03-25 16:07:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114086614 Formation ciaranwhite2 https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114185699 When both plates collide then pressure pushing them together due to the convection currents leads them to fold upwards where a mountain is formed. The mountain will continue to grow a little each year due to the movement of the plates. ]]> 2022-03-25 17:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114185699 Earth quakes and mountains ciaranwhite2 https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114791579 Areas along where two plates are prone to earth quakes due to the movement of the plates in that region. These areas are called fault lines]]> 2022-03-26 12:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114791579 Examples of Mountains formed at Plate Boundaries. ciaranwhite2 https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114794880 The Himalayas stretch through the borders of China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, and Pakistan. The crust beneath the Himalaya, the most towering mountain range on Earth, is still the process of being compressed. Here, the Indian plate is colliding northward with the Eurasian plate.]]> 2022-03-26 12:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ciaranwhite2/u3wsrjfibskk9ek9/wish/2114794880
