Mountains Quiz Prep
Question | Answer |
---|---|
How quickly do mountains form? | Sllllloooowly. This is why the Lava mountain was sad for cuch a long time. |
List 3 types of mountains | folded, fault block, volcanic |
What is deformation? | When rock changes shape (it deforms) |
What causes rocks to fold? | Compression |
Where are rock folds often found? | near convergent boundaries |
folded mountains are made out of | the Earth's crust |
How are fault block mountains made | plates pulling apart, normal faults |
Where are fault block mountains found? | divergent boundaries |
Which type of plate boundary involves plate moving toward each other? | Convergent plate boundaries involve plates moving toward each other. When this occurs the plates will either collide or one will subduct under the other. |
Which type of boundary involves plates pulling away from each other? | Divergent boundaries involve plates pulling away from each other at spreading zones. |
Which type of boundary involves plates sliding past each other? | Transform fault boundaries occur where plates move past each other horizontally. |
Which type of boundary is a constructive boundary? | Divergent boundaries are constructive because new land is formed between the plates as they pull away from each other. |
Which type of boundary is a destructive boundary? | Convergent boundaries can be destructive when one plate plunges under the other at a subduction zone and is recycled into the mantle. |
At which type of boundary will you find rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. | Divergent plate boundaries |
At which type of boundaries will you most likely find mountain ranges? | Convergent and divergent |
Which type of mountain is most common at divergent plate boundaries? | Fault-block mountains. |
