forms when a large piece of Earth's crust are tilted. uplifted, or dropped between large faults

• fault-block mountains
• uplifted mountains
• single volcanic peaks
• Basin and Range Province

What type of mountain results from oceanic to oceanic convergence?

• spreading ridges
• uplifted mountains

• super volcano

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. 

What is deformation?

• Process when the rocks break apart or erode.

• Process of when rocks melt away.

• Process when rocks change shape under pressure.

• The way your bedroom looks before you clean it.
