It's Your FAULT
This fault is where the two blocks move horizontally.
Strike Slip
These mountains are formed at CC boundaries.
Folded Mountains
What type of stress forms reverse faults?
Compression
What does the L in FLIGHT stand for?
Leadership
What is the definition of Uplifted?
Pushed Upwards
The hanging wall rises and the footwall sinks
Reverse Fault
This type of mountain is formed through CO and OO boundaries.
What type of stress forms Fault Block mountains?
Tension
What plate boundary do Normal faults form at?
Divergent
How can you tell that a rock has been deformed?
Because the layers are no longer horizontal or they are folded.
The footwall rises and the hanging wall sinks
Normal Fault
How do Folded Mountains form?
At convergent boundaries rock layers are pushed together and crumple.
The San Andreas Fault has what type of stress?
Shear
What state is Mr. Bideau from?
Pennsylvania
You are now a hanging wall along a fault. From your point of view, tell me what happens at a reverse fault?
I am going up, up, and up! Bye Footwall!!!
These faults are found along convergent boundaries
Normal Fault
How do volcanic mountains form?
Magma is released to the surface. After many eruptions a mountain is formed.
What type of stress causes Volcanic Mountains?
Compression
What boundary type doesn't form a mountain?
Transform
Why do most Volcanoes form around the Ring of Fire?
Because Volcanoes form at CO and OO boundaries that surround the Pacific Plate
If you built a house on top of a normal fault, what would happen to the house?
The house would split. The side on the hanging wall would fall, whereas the footwall side would rise.
How do fault block mountains form?
Two normal faults cause a center area of rock to push up as the hanging walls sink. It is just exposed rock.
Can rocks go under compression, tension, and sheer stress at the same time? Why or why not?
No, because you cannot push, pull, and slide at the same time.
What is the name of the Scientist who came up with Continental Drift?
Alfred Wegener
What type of mountain is Pikes Peak and what evidence do we have to prove it.
Volcanic Mountain, It was formed by a batholith of cooled magma.
