9. B3
Uplift is described as the rising of the Earth’s crust to higher elevations, especially in mountainous areas, that at times can cause folding (and faulting). What is the main cause of this uplift?
Landslides
Deposition
Earthquakes
Weathering and Erosion

The oldest rock is on the top and the youngest on the bottom
None of the Above
Mr. Hollander's 8th Grade Science Class

11. B5 Uplift can cause which of the following? Formation of mountains

12. C1 Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the center of continents.
along bodies of water.
along plate boundaries.
in mountainous areas.
Mr. Hollander's 8th Grade Science Class

13. C2
Tectonic plates fit very close together like the pieces of a puzzle. As they move into, away from and past each other sometimes they break along faults causing the ground to move because of a sudden release of energy. This is known as
plastic rebound.
deformation.
stress.
elastic rebound.
