Answers

1
In a typical fault-block mountain
upwarping creates distinctive features known as domes
the major forces are compressional stresses
thrust faulting plays an important part in its formation
large blocks of crust are uplifted along normal faults
2
An example of a mountain range formed at divergent boundaries is
the Andes in South America
the Ural Mountains in Russia
the Aleutian Islands in Alaska
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
3
At a continent-continent convergence,
both continental plates are subducted
volcanic mountains cannot form
folded mountains result
ocean basin are froming
4
Which of the mountain ranges was formed by a continental-continental convergent boundary?
the Himalayas
the Sierra Nevada
the Black Hills
the Andes Mountains
5

10
Which of the following describes the movement of crust in a normal fault?
Movement is mostly in a horizontal direction
