JCHS Earth/Space Science Chapter 7 Test Review

Know the definitions of deformation, stress, and strain

What are four factors that influence the strength of a rock and how it will deform?

Faults are a form of _____ strain.

What are the three types of stress that cause deformation of rocks?

Most mountain building occurs at convergent plate boundaries.

Choose the letter of the statement about ocean-ocean convergence that is not true.

What are the two ways rocks permanently deform?

The types of mountains formed by ocean-continental convergence are volcanic mountains and folded mountains.

Choose the letter of the statement that is not true about fault-block mountains.

Normal Faults commonly occur at convergent boundaries

_______are breaks in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another.

Due to accretion, deformed/thickened crust undergoes regional uplifting during mountain building for a long time after

The Black Hills of western South Dakota make up a large domed structure thought to be formed by upwarping.

Choose the letter of the mountain range that is NOT examples of folded mountains.

At a convergent boundary, a collision between two plates carrying continental crust = the formation of folded mountains.

When gravity/weight + buoyancy of asthenosph. pressing on lithosph are =, the lithosphere/asthenosphere are in isostasy

Figure shows mountain building along an Andean-type subduction zone. Select the letter that identifies each feature.

Strike-slip faults occur in response to ___ stress.
