Deforming Earth’s Crust

Deformation Rock that has been changed by stress. Caused by heat and pressure

Deformation Deformation These rocks have been folded because of convergent pressure

Deformation Millook Haven Cliffs in Cornwall, England - These rocks folded under pressure then cracked.

Compression Rocks get folded when they are under pressure in a convergent boundary. This is called Compression

Compression Rocks get folded at what kind of tectonic plate boundary? Divergent Transform Convergent

How did these rocks get folded? Divergence Compression Subduction

Tension Sometimes rocks get stretched in a divergent boundary. This is called Tension

Tension Rocks get stretched at what kind of tectonic plate boundary? Divergent Transform Convergent

Faulting This is the fault Faulting occurs when tension is applied to a rock. First the middle gets thinner – then the rocks snap and one side rises up. The grand Teton Mountains are Fault Block Mountains. This is the fault

The Grand Tetons This is the fault The Grand Tetons are Fault Block Mountains in Wyoming

Faulting A fault is a crack in rock. It can be a crack in a small rock. Or it can be a crack in Earth’s surface.

→compression← or ←tension → Faulting Faulting occurs when a cracked piece of crust moves because of stress →compression← or ←tension → There are Three types of Faults: Normal Fault Reverse Fault Strike Slip Fault

Faulting The crack in the crust is called a fault. Faults are never straight up and down, they are on an angle and have their own names.

Normal Fault When faults move they move in one of three ways. A Normal fault is when the hanging wall moves down under ←tension →

Reverse Fault A reverse fault is when the hanging wall moves up because of →compression←

Strike Slip Fault A strike slip fault is the same as it is when continents move – the fault moves side to side.

Strike Slip Fault This is how you end up with roads and fences moved during earthquakes! This road only moved a few inches – but this fence moved 8.5 feet!

Mountain Building There are three types of mountains: Folded mountains Volcanic mountains Fault Block Mountains

Folded Mountains Folded Mountains occur between plates that are converging. The Andes Mountains are between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate The plates are moving towards each other

Andes Mountains

Appalachian Mountains The Appalachian Mountains were once as tall as the Himalaya Mountains but have been worn down by hundreds of millions of years of weathering and erosion.

Himalaya Mountains

Fault Block Mountains Fault block mountains occur when rock begins to fold – then snaps under ←tension → Large chunks of the mountain fall

The Grand Tetons in Wyoming

Sierra Nevada The Sierra Nevada Mountains are Fault Block between California and Nevada.

Volcanic Mountains Volcanic Mountains are mountains that are formed by Volcanoes. We don’t always know when a volcano is dormant (asleep) – so we live on the sides of the volcanic mountain.

Volcanic Mountains can also be under the Ocean. This is Molokini Crater in Hawaii – it once stuck up above the water but it blew its top!

Volcanic Mountains can also be under the Ocean. This volcano is erupting on the floor of the Pacific Ocean

Underwater Volcanic Mountains can also form islands.

Underwater Volcanic Mountains can also form islands.

Like Hawaii

Most Volcanoes occur around the Pacific plate along the Ring of Fire.

Uplift Uplift is when large areas of land move up without deforming. Elastic Rebound is one form of Uplift it happens when you pull rocks apart – then let go. Where the rock had been thin in the middle it goes back to its original shape and the land rises. ←tension →

Subsidence The opposite of uplift, subsidence occurs when large areas of land drop either quickly or over time.
