Forces Shaping Earth
This explains the upward and downward motion.
What is Vertical Motion.
Page 254-255
This is created by compression stresses where plate collide.
What are tall mountains form?
Page 261
Types of mountains.
What are folded mountains, fault-block mountains, uplifted mountains, and volcanic mountains?
Page 271-273
This explains the three main Continental Interiors.
What are plains, basins, and plateaus?
Page 279-280
This explains what erosion and rifting do to continents.
What makes continents shrink?
Page 284
This explains the side to side motion.
What is Horizontal Motion?
Page 255-256
Landforms created by compression.
What are Mountain Ranges, Ocean Trenches, and Volcanic Arcs?
Page 262-263
The Mountain-Building Cycle.
What is converging plates, collisions, rifting, weathering, erosion, and uplift?
Page 269-271
This explains the type of landforms weathering and erosion created in the state of Kansas.
What is the formation of plains?
Page 279
Uplift and plate motion.
What moves rocks through the rock cycle?
Page 284
This explains Compression, Tension, and Shear.
What are the three types of stresses?
Page 255
Landforms created by Tension.
What are Mid-Ocean Ridges and Continental Rifts?
Page 263-264
This explains folded mountains.
What are folded layers perpendicular to the direction of the compression that created them?
Page 271
This explains what rifting does to continents.
What changes continents size and shape?
Page 278
Grow, shift, and shrink.
What do continents constantly do?
Page 280
This explains the strain that makes a permanent change in shape of a rock.
What is a Plastic strain?
Page 256
Landforms created by Shear stress.
What are Transform Faults and Fault Zones.
Page 265
This explains how uplifted mountains form.
What forms when the mantle sinks and creates compression of the crust?
Page 273
This explains what resources we get from basins.
What is oil, natural gas, and coal from.
Page 279
This explains what repeated plate collisions do to mountains.
What makes mountain ranges grow?
Page 284
This explains what it is called when strain breaks a rock instead of just changing the shape.
What is Failure?
Page 256
An area of many fractured pieces of crust along large fault.
What is a fault zone?
Page 265
This explains volcanic mountains.
What are volcanoes classified as?
Page 273
This explains how the Colorado plateaus were formed.
What did uplift and lava flows create.
Page 280
Folded layers of rock, blocks of crust moving up and down at faults, uplift, and volcanic eruptions.
What do different types of mountains form from?
