Today’s Goals…
I can explain how Earth’s mountains form and erode.
I can compare types of mountains. I can identify the forces that shape Earth’s
mountains.
What do you know?
True or FalseThere are four main types of mountains.Fault-block mountains create peaks and valleys.Appalachian mountains are upwarped mountains.Folded mountains are caused by compression forces.Some mountains are growing taller because of plate
movement.
Mountains
There are 4 main types:Fault-blockFoldedUpwarpedVolcanic
Fault-Block Mountains
Formed from tension forces Huge blocks of rock separate and move apart and
downward Creates peaks and valleys Teton mountain range in
Wyoming Page 300
Folded Mountains
Formed from compression forces Rock layers buckle and fold Appalachian Mountains Page 301
Upwarped Mountains
Form when forces inside Earth push up the crust Page 301
Volcanic Mountains
Forms when lava flows onto Earth’s surface Lava builds up over time in the shape of a cone
Changes over time
What causes mountains to change over time?Plates are still moving
