QuestionAnswer
reminders of the earth's crust deformations of its crust mountain ranges
deformation is bending, breaking, and cracking of the earth's crust
major cause of the eath's deformation plate tetonics
movement of the earth's lithospheric plates plate tetonics
crust floats on mantle, heavier crust is, deeper it strikes isostatic adjustment
______ and _____ forces balance and keeps the earth reletiveley flat crust; mantle
balancing of the crust and the mantle isostacy
up and down movements of the crust to reach isostacy isostatic adjustment
isostatic adjustments occur at mountain ranges
3 areas of isostatic adjustments: 1. Himilayas, Grand Tetons, Andes 2.where a river forms a delta 3. glaciers advance and retreat
stuff on the bottom of rivers sediments
a very thick accumulation of these river deposits geosyncline
force that applies pressure to the rocks and the crust stress
changes in the shape or volume or size of the rocks that occur due to stress and the result of stress strain
3 types of stress: compression, tension, and shearing
coastal rocks are squeezed together or pressed compression
pulls rocks apart tension
rocks pulling in opposite directions shearing
over extended something strain
feels like your head is pulling apart tension headache
geo earth
syn together
cline change in a trait
Niagra is formed by a glacier retreat
when Niagra was claimed a waterfall, how tall was it 11 meters
Niagra means loud water
when rock responds to stress when becoming permanently deformed without breaking folding
movement of rocks between plates fault
