11.2 Mountain Building Review

When a rock is placed under stress, it deforms or changes shape.

• deformation

• fold

• fault

• sheer stress

This is an example of a/an

• anticline

• syncline

This is an example of a ______________ fault.

• reverse fault

• normal fault

• spike-strip fault

The stress that is formed when rocks are pushing in opposite direction at a transform boundary.

• compression

• tension

• shear stress

The process that causes rocks to break because of stress.

• fold

• fault

• syncline

• anticline

What kind of fault is shown here?

• reverse fault

• normal fault

• spike-strip fault

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?

• 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.

Stress that stretches rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle!

• tension
• compression
