compression will put the sponges under stress and deform them

Answer

tension will put the sponges under stress and deform them

Answer

shear stress will put the sponges under stress and deform them

Answer

Uplifted Mountain

Answer

Volcanic Mountain

Answer

None of the above

Question 39

How are fold mountains formed?

Accepted Answer

When two or more of Earth's tectonic plates are pushed together. At these colliding, compressing boundaries.

Answer

These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks.

Answer

Formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. Magma is called lava when it breaks through the earth's crust. When the ash and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock.
