QUESTIONS

QuestionAnswer
the opposite of uplift is___________ subsidence
the balance between the crust and the mantle below it is isastasy
Explain the difference between the two types of strain Elastic strain does not permanently change, or deform, rocks. Plastic strain creates a permanent change in shape
Describe what happens to the elevation of the land surface when crust thickens the crust thickness it rises the elevation rising
Name one result of rock failure faults
which type of deformation Is produced by compression of plastic crust folds
list copy graphic organizer down below , and use it to show three types of stress Compression, tension, and shear
identify the type of stress that deformed the rocks shown below. What kind of strain resulted from the stress Compression stress cause folds. This is plastic strain. The rock will not return to its original shape
predict what would happen to the height of the land surface of Antarctica if the ice sheet started to melt As the weight of ice is removed from the crust, the land surface will move upward until balance (isostasy) is restored
reflect on the relation ship between vertical and horizontal motion how are they related? when are they not related Horizontal motion creates uplift or making faults. They are examples of vertical motion. The vertical motion caused by eroding a mountain or by melting an ice sheet does not require horizontal motion
