• compression

• tension

• plateau

What is the force that acts on rock that changes its shape or volume?

• valley

• tension

• stress

• anticline

NGSS.MS-PS2-4

Folded mountains are created when...

• plates subduct.

• plates collide.

• plates pull away from one another.

• plates slide next to either.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

When tension in the Earth's crust pulls rock apart this kind of fault is formed.

• strike-slip

• normal

• reverse

• valley

I am created when forces push up a large flat area of Earth's crust that is wider than it is tall. What am I?

• valley

• mountain

• plateau

• glacier

Which of these forces can thin out rock on the Earth's crust by pulling the crust apart?

• gravitational

• normal

• applied

• tension

This occurs where two plates come together.

• shearing

• compression

• valley

• ocean

NGSS.MS-ESS2-3

A fault occurs when stress builds up in rocks and they break apart. This type of fault occurs when rocks slip past each other.

• normal

• reverse

• strike-slip

• big
