Chapter 7 Mountains

2. The height of a mountain’s summit above its base.
4. Sharp edged mountains consisting of blocks displaced by shifting along
5. An elevation of the earth’s surface resulting from tectonic activity.
8. An elevation of the earth’s surface resulting from deposition.
11. The height of a point on the earth’s surface above sea level.
13. Structurally complicated mountains containing characteristics of multiple mountains types.
15. Dome shaped mountains resulting from upward buckling of sedimentary strata by igneous intrusions.

1. The variation of land surface elevations caused by diﬀerent landforms in a region.
3. A natural structure on the earth’s surface
6. A period of mountain building the landforms that result from mountain building.
7. faults in regions undergoing tensional stress.
9. The gravitational balance between the downward weights of the crust and the upward force exerted by the mantle.
10. The diﬀerence in height between the highest and lowest elevations within a region.
12. Mountains built not by deformation but by accumulation of multiple layers of lava and or pyroclastic materials as a result of repeated volcanic eruptions.
14. Mountains formed when compressional stress folds rock strata.
