  1. Objective 10/17/2011 Identify the most common types of mountains. Intro Where are some good places to find fish fossils?

  2. Mountain Building

  3. How about right here! Where in this picture would be the best place to find fish fossils?

  4. Could Plate Tectonics have anything to do with it? Any explanations???

  5. Mountain Building • 3 types of mountains • Folded Mtns. • Fault-Block Mtns. • Volcanic Mtns.

  6. Mountain Building • Folded Mtns. • Form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward. • Ex.: • Appalachian Mtns. In Eastern U.S. • Himalayas in Asia

  7. 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

  8. Mountain Building • Volcanic Mtns. • Forms when magma rises through the crust onto the surface of Earth

  9. Objective 10/17/2011 Identify the most common types of mountains. Outro • 3 things you learned • 2 ways to apply this information to your life • 1 question you still have about this topic
