1. Crustal Deformations

2. 4 types
Compressions
Tensions
Folding
Faulting

3. Compressions Causes the Earth to be pushed in on itself
Can lead to folding or faulting

4. Tension Causes to Earth to be pulled apart, or thinned out
Can lead to folding or faulting

6. Folding Bending of the Earth’s crust
Can lead to the formation of mountains, valleys, canyons, and other landforms

10. Faulting Breaking of the Earth’s crust
Can lead to the formation of mountains, valleys, canyons, and other landforms

13. Table activity
Take the next five minutes to compare and contrast folding and faulting.
Give at least 2 similarities and 2 differences

15. Mountains Landform that stretches above the surrounding land
Steeper than a hill

17. Plain Area of very flat land
Includes prairies, grasslands, and forests

20. Plateau Has a high elevation and level surface
May contain streams and rivers across them

23. Plate Boundaries
The edges of the Earth’s plates which cause folding and faulting
Three types: divergent, convergent, and transform

25. Divergent Boundary Where plates are moving away from each other
Where tension occurs

28. Convergent Boundary
Where the plates are moving towards each other and collide
Where compression occurs

30. Transform Boundary
Where the plates rub against each other back and forth

33. Subduction
Where one plates collides with another and one plate moves under the other
Creates mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes
