1. Chapter 11 Mountains
The boundary between the continental crust and the oceanic crust
“where the sea meets the land”
Continental Margin

2. Continental Margins
Passive Margin – Little to no tectonic activity
Active Margin – Plate Tectonic activity present – subduction or collision

3. How do mountains form? From stress! There are 3 types: Compression
 
Tension
 
Shear 

4. Folding of mountains - just like paper!
Anticline - upfold
Syncline - downfold

5. Faults - breaks and cracks. There are three types:
Normal fault
(one side of the boundary drops down)
Reverse fault
(one side of the boundary gets pushed up)
Strike-slip fault
(side by side, like san andreas)

9. Types of mountains Folded Dome Volcanic Fault block Collision boundary
Gentle hill

Volcano!
Fault block
Due to compression, tension or shear stress
