How does compression affect the crust?
faulting
Faulting is to gently contoured mountains as folding is to what?
Folding and faulting in mountains occurs because of the movement of lithospheric plates as described in the theory of plate tectonics. Continent to continent collision compresses the crust and its sedimentary cover rocks, displacing and distorting them upwards (folding) and fracturing them (faulting). Folding and faulting can also occur in oceanic crust-continental crust collisions, in areas above subduction zones.
What type of faulting takes place at ocean ridges?
Divergent faulting. That is to say the two oceanic crust are moving apart from each other.
Folding and faulting are caused by?
Mountains
What do you call the upfold on the crust caused by faulting?
Anticline
What can up and down faulting also be called?
Reverse Faulting.
How is faulting related to earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
Faulting occurs in all three of these
What is causing faulting?
Faulting is caused by the stretching or compression of rock by tectonic plate movements
What causes faulting?
diastrophism

What are the functions of each of the 5 grids of a Pentagrid Converter tube starting at the grid closest to the cathode in its use in a Superheterodyne Radio?
There are three varieties of pentagrids. Initial type - 6A7 type (converter). Grid 1 - oscillator grid, Grid 2 - oscillator anode, Grid 3 - screen grid, Grid 4 - signal grid, Grid 5 - screen grid. Development - 6SA7/1R5 type (converter). Grid 1 - oscillator grid, Grid 2 - screen grid, Grid 3 - signal grid, Grid 4 - screen grid, Grid 5 - suppressor grid. Development - 6L7 (mixer). Grid 1 - signal grid, Grid 2 - screen grid, Grid 3 - oscillator injection grid, Grid 4 - screen grid, Grid 5 - suppressor grid.
