Mountain Building

What does the movement of tectonics plates cause on rocks? 

• Places stress on rocks.
• The rocks disappear.
• The rocks start to erode.
• 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.
• Process when

What occurs during folding?

• When the rocks change color. 
• When the rocks form and create a landslide. 
• When the rock layers combine to create a mountain.
• When rock layer bend under stress.

What are the two types of folding?

• Horizontal and Vertical
• Synclines and Anticlines
• Up and down
• Bottom and Top

How many different types of faults are there?

• 7
• 2
• 4
• 3

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.

What are the three kinds of mountains?

• Fault-Block, Volcanic, and Dormant
• Fault-Block, Folded, and Towering
• Folded, Mechanic, and  Volcanic
• Folded, Volcanic, and Fault-Block

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.
