the andes mountains were formed by a continental collision
The Andes mountains were formed from the interaction of the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate, which is a convergent plate boundary. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the uplift and formation of the Andes mountains.
You can find the Andes Mountains on the west coast of South America. It is about 4,300 miles long and it is the largest Continental Mountain Range.
The Andes Mountains :) ***** I would like to add the Himalayas, which rose when the Indian Plate collided with the European plate.
They were formed by deposition and by convergent boundaries
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
The Andes mountains and the islands of Japan are both formed by subduction zones which was caused by volcanoes. The Himalayas were formed by convergent plate boundaries but no subduction zone. Instead the plates collided and there was uplift causing the mountains.
By 'these mountains' I assume you are referring to the Andes Mountains of South America. The desert formed in the rain shadow of the Andes is the Atacama Desert.
They were all formed at convergent boundaries
by tectonic plates colliding
The Andes Mountain Chain is formed as a result of a convergent plate boundary, the collision of the South American Plate with the Nazca Plate.
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
