when this fault moves, it causes the hanging wall to move up relative to the footwall.
What is reverse fault
100
this type of mountin forms when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward.
What is folded mountains
100
the solid dense center that is made of iron
What is inner core
100
pieces of the lithosphere that move around on top of the asthenosphere
What is tectonic plates
200
When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally
What is transform
200
when this fault moves, it causes the hanging wall to move down relative to the footwall.
What is normal fault
200
This type of mountain is located at convergent boundaries where oceanic crust sinks into the asthenosphere at subduction zones. The rock that is melted in subduction zones forms magma, which rises to the Earth's surface.
What is volcanic mountains
200
the strong lower part of the mantle
What is mesosphere
200
how do scientists know what the inside of the earth looks like?
What is seismic waves
300
when two tectonic plates separate
What is divergent
300
This fault forms when opposign forces cause rock to break and move horizontally
What is strike-slip faults
300
Form when tectonic forces put tension on the Earth's crust and this tenstion causes large blocks of the Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks.
What is fault-block mountains.
300
the liquid layer that lies beneath the mantle.
What is inner core
300
the hypothesis that states that the continents once formed a single landmass, broke up, and drifted to their present locations
What is continental drift
400
mid ocean ridges are an example of this boundary
What is divergent
400
this fault usually occurs when tectonic forces cause tension that pulls rocks apart
What is normal faults
400
appalachian mountains are an example of this mountain
What is folded mountains
400
a plastic layer of the mantle.
What is asthenosphere
400
The process by which new oceanic lithosphere forms as magma rises toward the surface and solidifies
What is sea-floor spreading
500
Earthquakes often happen on this boundary
What is transform
500
This type of fault usually happen when tectonic forces cause compression that pushes rocks together.
What is reverse faults
500
Wyoming has this type of sedimentary rock mountain
