|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| earthquake | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | -squeezing
-pulling
🗑
|
||||
| show | a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume.
🗑
|
||||
| volume | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | stress that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions.
(related to transform boundaries)
🗑
|
||||
| tension | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The rock will break; the two parts will move in opposite directions.
🗑
|
||||
| deformation | show 🗑
|
||||
| How does deformation change Earth's surface? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Shearing - the rock breaks and slip apart
Tension - Rock stretches and becomes thin in center
Compression - Rock squeezes until it folds or breaks
🗑
|
||||
| fault | show 🗑
|
||||
| strike-slip fault | show 🗑
|
||||
| normal fault; what is it caused by? | show 🗑
|
||||
| hanging wall | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The block of rock that forms the lower half of a fault.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Type of fault where hanging wall slides upward; caused by compression in crust.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Reverse - compression
normal - tension
strike-slip - shearing
🗑
|
||||
| Why do faults form and where do they occur? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What is friction? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What occurs when friction on a fault is low? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Sides of fault jam together, from time to time they jerk free; small earthquakes occur.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Sides of fault lock together and do not move. Stress increases until it it strong enough to overcome force of friction. Larger and/or more frequent earthquakes will occur.
🗑
|
||||
| fault-block mountain | show 🗑
|
||||
| How does the process of a fault-block mountain begin? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A bend in rock that forms where part of Earth's crust is compressed.
🗑
|
||||
| How does the compression of two plates cause an earthquake? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | An upward fold in rock formed by compression of Earth's crust.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A downward fold in rock formed by compression of Earth's crust.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A landform that has a more or less level surface and is elevated high above sea level.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Forms hills and mountain ranges.
🗑
