Deformation of the Crust
Across
- 2. fault where compression causes hanging wall to move up relative to footwall
- 5. mountains where large blocks drop relative to other blocks
- 6. strain where rock bends due to compression
- 8. force per unit area that acts on a rock
- 13. break in rock where there is no movement
- 14. change in rock's shape or volume, caused by stress
- 15. equilibrium between lithosphere & asthenosphere
- 18. break in rock where movement occurs
- 19. circular type of mountain
Down
- 1. fault where hanging wall moves down relative to footwall
- 3. mountains that form when magma erupts onto earth's surface
- 4. large, flat area of rock high above sea level
- 7. fault where rock slides horizontally
- 9. fault where hanging wall is pushed up and over footwall
- 10. adjacent mountain ranges
- 11. change in rock due to stress
- 12. circum-Pacific & Eurasian-Melanesian are examples
- 16. type of mountains that are related in orientation, age, & formation
- 17. mountain that forms when rock is squeezed and uplifted
