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

form when plates move over hot spots in mantle

• ocean ridge
• single volcanic peaks
• Adirondack Mountains
• fault-block mountains

The tallest mountains on Earth are formed by _______________.

• oceanic to continental convergence
• ocean to ocean convergence
• continental to continental convergence
• hot spots

What type of mountain results from oceanic to oceanic convergence?

• spreading ridges
• uplifted mountains
• volcanic island arcs
• super volcano

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?

• 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.
