Compressional stress is the major factor that forms?
Folded mountains
Explain what type of stress in the crust results in the formation of folded mountains?
Folded mountains are the result of compression stress in the earth's crust. This is a movement of plates that presses together or squeezes Earth's crust and is also known as convergent boundary.
Folded mountains in the middle of tectonic plate?
Compression stress from other tectonic plates squeeze the plates, causing it to buckle in the center, and for mountains to form.
Does Tension stress creates folded mountains compression stress creates fault-block mountains and the third type of mountain is volcanic?
First understand that in GEOLOGY there can be no such thing as a "tension stress". Gravity ensures that all things are in compression. The only change is in the direction of maximum stress. When gravity (downwards) is the direction of maximum stress and one or other of the horizontal stresses decays slightly, fault block mountains form. When gravity (downwards) becomes the lowest stress, reverse faults (thrusts) and fold mountains are formed. When a hydraulic fluid (magma) penetrates a rheologically solid medium this will crack the medium an rise towards the surface. If the magma contains gas this will fizz and cause a volcano.- Is the Answer True or False?-Olivia
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
Tectonic stress forms faults and blocks mountains.
What is the dominant type of stress associated with folded?
Answer: Compressional stress.
What is the primary way that folded mountains form?
Folded mountains are formed when rock layers are bend under stress.
