What are thrust fault mountains?
Rock that is too brittle to fold under heat and pressure, will break, calledthrust faulting. When older rock ends up on top of younger rock as a result of thrust faulting, the result is the formation of fault block mountains.
Large anticlines form what kind of mountains?
The large anticlines form the fold mountain and the dome mountains. This is usually as a result of jointing, folding and faulting.
What are the Himalayan mountains a result of?
The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.
What are two types of faults that can result in mountains?
normal and reverse fault can cause mountains
The Himalayan Mountains were formed as a result of what?
continental-continental convergence
Fault block mountains are primarly the result of faulting and?
Fault block mountains are often created through rifting, which is an indication of tensional tectonic forces. Fault block mountains are primarily the result of faulting and folding.

What are facts about cordillera?
Cordilleras are long chains of mountains, often found on the edges of tectonic plates. They can contain a diverse range of ecosystems and habitats due to their varied topography and climate. Some famous cordilleras include the Andes in South America and the Rocky Mountains in North America.
Compression can result in if the force is strong enough to break the crust?
faulting
Compression can result in what if the force is strong enough to break the crust?
faulting (apex)
The basin and range province in the western us is a result of what faulting?
normal ,tensional
Can Compression result in blank if the force is strong enough to break the crust?
Faulting
Which is a result of compression forces acting on plates?
a result of compression forces acting on plates is massive folding and faulting of rock
Shock waves that are felt on the earths surface as the result of faulting in the Earth's crust?
earthquakes :)
Does faulting create moon craters?
No. The craters on the moon are the result of massive asteroid and comet impacts.
Is the earth's shape is primarily the result of magnetism?
Earth's shape is primarily the result of:
