How can folding rearrange the rock layers, so that the oldest is not on top?

folding of Earth’s crust happens old layer of rock gets put over younger, an old layer of rock gets put on a younger layer

What are Folded mountains?

bend this causes the land to uplift creating a mountain range., the are uplifts of land

Biological weathering

Breaks rocks in smaller pieces without changing them chemically

Mechanical weathering -

weathering caused by plants or animals.

the slowest part of the river is

river bend is the inside of the bend=deposition

Sediment at the mouth of the rivermoves down the river and will form deltas

is not at a plate boundary where magma rises to the earths surface, places within the mantle where rocks melt to generate magma.

Expolsive volcanic eruptions

Explosive eruptions occur where cooler, more viscous magmas reach surface

the process of breaking down rocks and minerals by chemical reactions.

A river flowing down a straight path the what happens when the river bends?

moved to cange the gradient of the flow it can return to a youthful river

What are the three common types on volcanoes?

shield ,stratovolcano or composite and cinder cone volcanoes

How are Folded mountains created?

They are made by two tectonic plates pushing together

river bend is the outside of the bend =erosion

It's a opening in the eaarths crust where magma reaches the earths surface

Dormat volcanoes are?

one that hasn’t erupted in the past 10,000,but which is expected to erupt

it's within earths crust where rock has been fracture

the Earth gets worn down. it can be caused by natural elements such as

where are revese faults found?

reverse faults are found along convergent boundaries

A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land.

How are fault block mountains created?

when compression forces cause the earths crust to slide up the fault

How can faulting reararange rock layers?

old rock to slip above younger rock younger rock to slip below older rock

What is constructive force?

cause landforms to grow. The eruption of a new volcano creates a new landfo

Mechanical weathering

Frost wedging - caused by the freeze and thawing of water.

what are fault block mountains?

are mountain ranges that formed when rocks move along faults

14
How can folding rearrange the rock layers, so that the oldest is not on top?
they just needed a break.
folding of Earth’s crust happens old layer of rock gets put over younger
