Chapter 11.1 and 11.2 Mountain Building

What does the movement of tectonics plates cause?

• Stress on rocks.

• Deposition of sediments

• Erosion of rocks

• All of the above.

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.

What occurs during folding?

• Rocks change color.

• Rocks form and create a landslide.

• Rock layers combine to create a mountain.

• Rock layer bend under stress.

What are two types of folding?

• Horizontal and Vertical

• Synclines and Anticlines

• Up and down

• Bottom and Top

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 reverse faults?

• The hanging wall move upward relative to the footwall.

• The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall..

• The fault causes a reaction having magma rises up and create a mountain.

• The blocks move sideways relative to each other.

How do Fault-Block mountains form?

• Tension pushes the blocks of lithosphere on top of each other.

• Tension makes the lithosphere break into many pieces causing some to fall relative to others.

• Shear stress makes the mountains break.

• Compression makes the mountains rise up.

How do Folded Mountains form?

• Tension breaks the lithosphere into pieces causing some to fall relative to others. .

• Magma erupts from the crust.

• Magma under the crust pushes the layers upward.

• Compression causes layers to be squeezed and pushed upward.
