Faults and stress
100
This mountain is formed when two tectonic plates collide!
What are Folded mountains?
100
A volcano that lava flows slowly out and is fairly flat.
What are shield volcanoes?
100
The two plates slide roughly next to each other.
What is a transformed boundary?
100
Ground movements that occur when blocks of rock in Earth move suddenly.
What are earthquakes?
100
The stress that pushes the rock in parallel but opposite directions.
What is shear stress?
200
The mountain is formed and located at convergent boundaries.
What are volcanic mountains?
200
A volcano where ash and pieces of lava harden in the air falls and forming a dom.
What are cinder cone volcanoes?
200
Two plates collide together forming a mountain.
What are convergent boundaries?
200
A break in Earth's crust along which blocks of rock move.
What is a fault?
200
The crack that forms when large blocks of rock break and move past each other.
What are faults?
300
This mountain is created by tectonic plate boundaries, normal faults.
What are faulted block mountains?
300
A volcano formed when the pyroclastic material is deposited around the vent.
What are composite volcanoes?
300
The oceanic plate clashes with the continental plate.
What is subduction zone?
300
The process by which rock becomes deformed and changes due to stress.
What is deformation?
300
When 1 plate goes down and the other one goes up!
What is a normal-fault?
400
The process when rock layers bend under stress.
What is folding?
400
Volcanoes form at this boundary a lot.
What is a divergent plate boundary?
400
The two plates separate letting out magma.
What is the divergent boundary?
400
The return of rock to its original shape after elastic deformation.
What is elastic rebound?
400
The stress that squeezes or pushes rock together.
What is compression?
