1 Deforming the Earth’s Crust

2 Deformation Deformation: process by which a rock changes shape due to _______ stress

3 Stress  causes ________ and _________ 1. Compression: type of stress that occurs when an object is _______________ – Occurs at ____________ plate boundaries 2. ________: type of stress that occurs when rock is stretched/pulled – Occurs at __________ plate boundaries folding faulting squeezed/pushed convergent Tension divergent

5 Stress 3. Shear: type of stress that occurs when objects slide past each other (rubbing) –Occurs at ___________ plate boundaries transform

6 Folding Folding: the ________of rock layers due to stress 1. __________: upward arching fold 2. Syncline: __________ trough like fold 3. Monocline: both ends of fold are __________ bending Anticline downward horizontal

14 Faulting Fault: a ________in a body of rock along which one _____slides relative to the other _____________ are common along fault lines In non-vertical faults, the fault is at an ______, which creates a _____________and ________ break block Earthquakes angle hanging wall footwall

16 1. Normal Fault: the hanging wall moves _______compared to the footwall – _________stress occurs 2. __________ Fault: the hanging wall moves up compared to the footwall – _______________stress occurs down Tension Reverse Compression

22 3. Strike-Slip Fault: the break in the rock is _______, but the rocks move __________ – Example: ______________Fault in California – Shear stress – NOTE: This type of fault does NOT create a footwall or hanging wall because the break in the rock is not at an angle vertical horizontal San Andreas

28 Mountain Building 1. Folded Mountains: Formed at convergent plate boundaries – Highest, Smooth – Ex: Appalachian, Andes, Alps, Himalayas

29 ALPS

30 APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS

31 ANDES MOUNTAINS

32 HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS

33 2. Fault-Block Mountains: Formed at divergent boundaries – Sharp, jagged peaks – At a fault, block of rocks drops down – Ex: Grand Tetons, Sierra Nevada

34 SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS

35 GRAND TETON MOUNTAINS

36 3. Volcanic Mountains: Formed at convergent boundaries – Eruption and cooling of magma – Creates islands – Ex: Mt. Kea, Mt. Loa, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Pinatubo

37 MT. MAUNA KEA

38 MT. MAUNA LOA

39 MT. PINATUBO

40 MT. ST. HELEN
