6. Key Points Deformation occurs when there is a change in the size and/or shape of a rock body Deformation is caused by movements of tectonic plates and interactions at plate boundaries – Types of deformation: ductile. elastic and brittle Stress is the force per unit area that is acting on a solid – Types of stress: compressional, tensional, shear Strain is the change in shape of a rock as a result of stress

14. Check-in 1.Define deformation: 2.What are the 3 types of rock deformation? 3.What type of deformation involves rocks returning to their original shape and size after stress is removed? 4.What type of deformation involves rocks permanently changing shape without fracturing? 5.What are the three types of stress?

17. Folds During mountain building, rock layers are often bent into a series of “ripples” called ___________ Types 1.Anticlines: ____________________ of rock layers 2.Synclines: _____________________in rock layers 3.Monoclines: __________________________________ in otherwise horizontal sedimentary rock layers

18. Folds

19. Monoclines

20. Faults ____________are fractures in the crust along which __________________has taken place The surface above the fault is called the _______________________ The surface below the fault is called the _______________________

21. Faults The major types of faults are 1._______________ faults 2._______________ faults 3.Reverse faults 4.Normal faults

22. Faults 1.Normal Faults -Occurs where the _________________________ ________________________________________ -Caused by _______________________________ 2.Reverse Faults -Occurs where the _________________________ ________________________________________ -Caused by _______________________________

23. Faults 3. Thrust faults - Occurs where the _____________________________ _____________________________________________ - Allow ______________________________________ of younger layers 4. Strike-slip faults - Occurs where the movement is mostly ____________ and _________________to the trend of the fault surface

25. Joints _____________________ along which ______________________ (detectable) ________________________has occurred

26. Joints

34. Mountains Why do all of these mountains look different Because different processes are responsible for their formation The collection of processes that produce mountains is called ________________________ Mountains are classified based on the ________________________________________ ________________________________________

36. Folded Mountains Formed primarily by ________________ Major force that causes formation is ______________________ Examples: _____________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ __
