Earth Science: Ch 5 Deformation

When oceanic and continental plates collide: 

Folded mountains form:

The upward pressure from the asthenosphere's bouyancy leads to lithospheric

The same stresses which form folded mountains also form:

Faults break blocks from crust: rocks drop relative to other blocks, make this mountain:

A volcanic mountain is formed by:

The two forces which need to balance for isostatic adjustment are bouyancy and

What is the term for changes in the shape and/or volume of rock?

The layer of plastic rock just below the lithosphere is the

In  book/dowel activity the dowel breaking modeled how rock reacts to strain beyond elasticity.

A break along which surrounding block moves:

What occurs at a transform boundary?

Mountain that forms where rock layers are compressed and uplifted:

Mountain with circular rock layers that gently slope from the center:

A state in which the asthenosphere and lithosphere are in balance:

Tectonic plates are blocks of

What happens when two oceanic plates collide?

What is isostacy?

In the book/dowel activity, the silly putty which was deformed was modelling rock fracturing.  

A fold where the youngest rock layer is at the center is called a (an)

Folded mountains form:

A dome mountain is formed

Which of the following describes a fracture?

Isostatic adjustments occur in the 

Type of stress that distorts rock, force from opposite horizontal directions:

What heppens when two continental plates collide?

A bend in rock layers that results from stress:

Isostacy is:

When the weight of the earth's crust decreases, the lithosphere experiences

The type of stretch that stretches, pulls rock apart:

Which is a fracture?

A mountain formed when magma erupts through Earth's surface:

The type of stress which distorts a body by pushing parts of the body in opposite directions is

The type of stress which shortens and squeezes a body is:

The bands of polarity on either side of sea vents are evidence for: 

Generally, a substance which is heated expands in volume and becomes less dense. 

Tectonic plates are blocks of

The settling of the lithosphere after such things mountain forming or glaciation is:

A fold where the oldest rock is in the center (core) is called a (an)

What type of mountain is formed when higher blocks fault?

In the book/dowel activity, the wooden dowel returning to its shape modeled rock elasticity.

A type of stress which shortens and squeezes rocks:
