• Deposition of sediments

• Erosion of rocks

• All of the above.

What occurs during folding?

• Rocks change color.

• Rocks form and create a landslide.

• Rock layers combine to create a mountain.

• Rock layers bend under stress.

What are two types of folding?

• Horizontal and Vertical

• Synclines and Anticlines

• Up and down

• Bottom and Top

How do Volcanic mountains form?

• Rock combines with water to create a tight structure for a mountain.

• Compressional stress causes blocks to fold and move upward.

• Molten rock erupts on earth surface, and creates a mountain structure.

• 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.

• Compression causes layers to be squeezed and pushed upward.

• all of the above
