1. compression stress can create

a material to buckle, deform or break.

2. name two types of mountains that can form far from plate boundaries.

fault-block mountains and dome mountains.

4. contrast folded and fault-block mountains.

Finally, folded volcanic mountains and fault-block mountains differ in their appearance.

7. summarize the plate tectonic events that built the appalachian mountains, using a graphic organizer like the one below.

the American and African plates collided (the Appalachian Orogeny).

8. critique the generalization that mountains only form at convergent boundaries. Explain how other processes can produce mountains.

Compression is not the only way to deform rocks to make mountains. Tension and shear can also break rocks and create faults.

3. Rocks formed deep inside earth can be found at the surface as	overlying rocks wearing away.
4. contrast folded and fault-block mountains.	Finally, folded volcanic mountains and fault-block mountains differ in their appearance.
5. which type of mountains form with little deformation?	D. Volcanic mountains
6. identify the type of plate boundary where the appalachian mountains formed.	Convergent plate boundary
7. summarize the plate tectonic events that built the appalachian mountains, using a graphic organizer like the one below.	the American and African plates collided (the Appalachian Orogeny).
8. critique the generalization that mountains only form at convergent boundaries. Explain how other processes can produce mountains.	Compression is not the only way to deform rocks to make mountains. Tension and shear can also break rocks and create faults.
