Earth Science : Ch 7-Mountains & Hills

2. mountains that form from folded rock strata
3. a natural elevation of the earths surface
5. shapes and structures of the earths surface
8. the features of different landforms and elevations of the earths surface in a certain region
10. mountains set apart by one or more normal faults
12. the variation in elevation in a specific region
13. blade like mountainous formations
14. the highest point on a hill or mountain
15. having to do with the making of mountains through tectonic processes
17. solidified magma that forms domed rock islands standing out of a flat plain surrounding them
21. low areas in the center of the rift where rocks cracked and dropped downward
22. the heights and location of mountains on land
24. process where solid particles drop from a moving fluid to the bottom of the fluid and builds up over time
25. broad regions of mostly undisturbed sedimentary deposits lifted by some tectonic process
27. long low hills that formed as glaciers dragged over piles of till
29. form as the landform above an empty magma chamber sinks
31. a through or downward fold of rock strata
33. sediments that can be carried by wind glaciers of deposited by volcanoes and build up on land
34. steep sided piles of till
35. landform with sedimentary strata that looks like an upside down bowl
37. gravity flowing water or wind carries away particles
38. broad flat topped hills remaining from the erosion process

1. a group of mountain ranges connected over a much larger area
4. a large portion of rock deep under unsolidified sediment strata broke along a fault and rose
6. smaller flat topped hills
7. a deposit of eroded earth materials
9. a series of mountains peaks in the same geographical area
11. an arch of rock layers
16. crushed material formed when a glacier touches the bedrock and breaks out chunks of rock and grinds them into pebbles gravel sand and fine silt
18. wind deposited hills of sand
19. extinct volcanoes in ocean basins
20. the nature of the surrounding land or topography
23. winding deposits of till that followed melting water streams as they flowed beneath the glacier
25. tall spires of rock that are all that remains of an eroded plateau
26. sloped piles of broken rock
28. a series of steep walled valleys lined with high cliffs rising from faults parallel to the valley
30. neither rising or falling balanced
32. mountains carved out by erosion from a plateau
36. long low ridges of glacial till that form at the front and sides of glaciers
