Plates and mountain Formation
Across
- 3. these are fractures along which movement has occurred on either side of the crack.
- 6. a bent layer or series of layers, of rock that were originally horizontal and have become deformed.
- 7. this is a down wrap fold
- 8. this is an arch shape fold
- 9. faults these are faults in which the movement along the the fracture is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault surface.
- 10. This is the mountain building process.
Down
- 1. faults these are faults in which the movement is mainly vertical.
- 2. mountains this is often the mark the spot of a convergent plate boundary, where one plate is sliding down below the other in an area called a subduction Zone.
- 4. when rocks originally form in flat layers.
- 5. mountains this also takes shape along convergent plate boundaries, especially where two continental plates collide, compressing and uplifting the rocks.
- 6. mountains these form when huge blocks of the earth's crust have been tilted or pushed up along a fault lines.
- 7. theses are created from rock particles settling on the seabed
