18 What is uplift? Uplift—the rising of a region of the Earth’s crust, possibly due to magma underneath pushing up.

19 What is subsidence? Subsidence—the sinking of a region of the Earth’s crust, possibly due to lower water levels or absence of magma

20 Mountain Building Occurs because of tectonic plate movement

21 What are folded mountains? Make the highest mountains in the world Rock layers that are squeezed together

22 Folded mountain Layers that are squeezed together

23 Appalachian mountains The Alps Himalayan Mountains What are some examples of folded mountains?

24 What are fault block mountains? Tension causes large blocks of rock to drop down Example: Teton Mountains, Wyoming

25 Fault block mountains Grand Tetons Wyoming

26 Formation of a Rift Valley Sequence showing how movements deep under the Earth's Crust help to create a Rift Valley
