8th grade mountains and hills

a trough or downward fold of rock strata formed in a similar way.

the measurement of a mountain from its base to its peak is known as its

if the reverse fault angle is less than 45°

a series of mountain peaks

formed when large sections of the crust moved along the cracks in the rock

mountains that were carved out by extensive erosion usually from a plateau

the body of rock ABOVE the fault rises in relation to the other body

Have you done this weeks discussion question? it is due BEFORE 8am tomorrow

segments of the earth's crust that seem to be slowly moving

a crack along which there has been slippage

a fold that occurs when one part of a rock layer is lifted up relative to another along a fault

a large crack in a rock along which no movement or slippage has occurred

process of oceanic lithosphere, sliding, bends downward and slides under the continental crust

a ridge of rock debris that as carried or pushed along by a glacier

uniformitarian explanation for how the continents drifted and continue to drift today

small versions of a mesas. broad flat-topped remaining from dissection erosion

deep trenches in ocean basins along continental margins and along strings of islands

when the folding of rocks forms mountains

height of mountains is given in meters or feet above sea level. this measurement is known as

a group of mountain ranges

an arch of rock layers, forces acting toward each other bend the layers into an upward fold

if the only motion along the fault is horizontal

low snaking ridge like deposits that remained after glaciers melted away or retreated

broad flat-topped hills remaining from the dissection process of erosion

a measure of elevation differences in a region is known as

accumulation of rocks, these materials may be caused by volcanoes, wind, glaciers

smooth elliptical hills that glaciers deposited as they moved along

a region of flat rock structure having a high elevation, consists of mostly sedimentary rock

glacial debris washed into depressions in the ice. after melt the rubble formed small hills

if the body of rock UNDER the fault rises in relation to the rock above the fault

an isolated mountain, resistant to erosion while the area around it was eroded to a flat plane
