Ch. 11

The bending, tilting and breaking of Earth’s crust; the change in the shape of rock in response to stress:

• fold
• Isotasy
• Deformation
• fault

A condition of gravitational and buoyant equilibrium between Earth’s lithosphere and asthenosphere:

• Isostasy
• Dome mountain
• Fault
• Stress

The amount of force per unit area that acts on a rock:

• deformation
• Strain
• Mountain range
• Stress

Any change in a rock’s shape or volume caused by stress

• Fold
• Strain
• Mountain range
• dome mountain

a form of ductile strain in which rock layers bend, usually as a result of compression

• Strain
• Fault
• Stress
• Fold

A break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another; a form of brittle strain

• Stress
• Folded mountain
• Faulg
• fold

A series of mountains that are closley related in orientation, age, and mode of formation

• Mountain range
• Fault-block mountain
• Folded mountain
• Dome mountain

A mountain that forms when rock layers are squeezed together And uplifted 

• Dome mountain
• Stress
• fold
• Folded mountain

A mountain that forms where fsilting breaks Earth’s crust into large blocks, which causes some blocks to drop down relative to other blocks

• fault
• Fault-block mountain
• Dome mount
• Folded mountain 

A circular or elliptical, almost symmetrical elevation or structure in which the stratified rock slopes downward gently from the central point of foldi
