Complex mountains are formed when the crust is subjected to very large compressive forces. Under large compressive forces and moderately high temperatures and pressures, parts of the crust are bent into large folds and broken into slices that slide over underlying rocks. The slices of the rock slide away from the source of compression. GRADE 7 SCIENCE
