Mountain Building • 3 types of mountains • Folded Mtns. • Fault-Block Mtns. • Volcanic Mtns.
Mountain Building • Folded Mtns. • Form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward. • Ex.: • Appalachian Mtns. In Eastern U.S. • Himalayas in Asia
Mountain Building • Fault-Block Mtns. • tension • Form when tension causes large blocks of the Earth’s crust to drop down • Ex.: Tetons in western Wyoming • Stress that occurs when forces act to stretch an object
Mountain Building • Volcanic Mtns. • Forms when magma rises through the crust onto the surface of Earth
