• 1970
• 1960
• 1980
• 1953

How are plate movements and mountain formation related?

• Plate movements cause sedimentation which forms mountains
• Plate movements cause volcanic eruptions which forms mountains
• Plate movements cause erosion which forms mountains
• Plate movements cause folding and faulting which forms mountains

How do fault-block mountains form?

• Through subduction
• Through volcanic eruptions
• Through the movement of tectonic plates
• Through the movement of magma

What type of mountain looks like a great hump of rock with a rounded top?

• Rocky Mountains

How have plate movements impacted Earth's features?

• They have created new continents
• They have destroyed old oceans
• They have built mountains
• All of the above

What role do erosion and sedimentary rocks play in the formation of fold mountains?

• They melt rocks in the mantle
• They contribute to the pressure and folding of rocks
• They create volcanic eruptions
• They cause earthquakes

Which of the following is an example of a dome mountain?

• Black Hills in South Dakota
• Navajo Mountain in Utah
• Basin and Range Province in Utah
• Grand Tetons in Wyoming
