What is it?
Fault-Block are large blocks of rock.
100
How are they made?
They are made when Earth's crust folds on top of each other.

100
When pressure builds up, what happens?
When pressure build up in volcanic mountains, eruptions occur.
100
Where do you find these volcanoes?
You can find them underwater!
200
How do they form?
Fault-Block mountains form when two plates smash against each other.
200
How long does it take to form and why?
It takes over a million years for it to form. It takes long, because the tectonic plates only move centimeters every year.
200
What are three examples of Upwarped mountains?
Some examples are: Southern Rocky Mountains, The Black Hills of Colorado, and the Adirondack's.
200
How far around a volcano is the danger area?
To be safe, you want to have a 20-mile radius.

What former "Soaring Mountain" is a folded mountain?
The Appalachians used to be one of the biggest mountains in the world. It isn't anymore from erosion. The Appalachians are folded mountains!

What is the circle of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean called?
Around the Pacific Ocean, there is a circle of volcanoes. This is called "The Ring of Fire"
400
Instead of making vibrations when the erupt, what do they do?
They make an acoustic wave.
500
What is the largest of the fault blocks?
The largest of the fault-block is the Crustal block.
500
Where does the word "Orogenic(the process a folded mountain is created through)" come from?
The word "Orogenic" comes from the Greek language. It stands for "Mountain Building"
