What happens in strike slip faults?

• Fault blocks move past each other horizontally. 
• Fault blocks move past each other vertically.
• The faults do not move at all. 
• The faults do move but not enough to cause anything. 

What happens in a normal fault?

• The faults move apart and completely separate.  
• The faults move side to side because of pressure. 
• The faults move in a normal way (down) due to gravity.
• The faults do not move because they are normal faults. 

What happens in reverse faults?

• The hanging blocks move upward relative to the footwall. 
• The blocks in the fault both move downward. 
• The fault causes a reaction that rises up and creates a mountain.
• Nothing happens with the blocks except that they move sideways a little.

How do Volcanic mountains form?

• When rock combines with water to create a tight structure for a mountain. 
• When lava forms into an island. 
• When molten rock erupts on earth surface, and creates a mountain structure. 
• When rock and lava form a beach.

How do Fault-Block mountains form?

• When tension makes the earth move. 
• When tension makes the lithosphere break into many pieces. 
• When tension makes the mountains break.
• When tension makes the mountains rise up into the atmosphere.  

How do Folded Mountains form?

• Forms when layers are turned upside down.
• Forms when layers are small and begin to grow. 
• Forms when layers are move downward into the core. 
• Forms when layers are squeezed and pushed together upward.

• The movement of rocks underground.
