What causes anticlines and synclines?
Anticlines and Synclines typically form during crustal deformation as the result of compression that accompanies orogenic mountain building.
When a continental crustal plate collides with an oceanic crustal plate the continental crust is forced to move over the oceanic crust What is the primary reason that the continental crust stays on?
Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.
What are the types of rock deformation?
elastic deformation, ductile deformation and fracture
What is the primary source of all energy stored on the earth?
The Sun is the primary source of all energy on Earth.
What is elastic deformation?
Elastic deformation is recoverable deformation. As such, when the load that caused the deformation is removed the material will return to it's original shape.
What is deformation that doesn't involve crustal movement?
epeirogeny
Epeirogeny is crustal uplift without deformation?
True.
What is crustal movement that doesn't involve deformation called?
epeirogeny
Main sources of stress that cause rock deformation?
Crustal unloading
Is Epeirogeny a crustal uplift without deformation. True or False?
True
What force made the Appalachian mountains?
The Appalachian Mountains are made from Crustal Deformation's and the plates that made it were the Oceanic-Continental.
What is primary causes of crustal movement?
Convection currents in the mantle.
Which type of stress produces most crustal deformation?
tension is the type of stress that causes the crust to become thinner.
What causes anticlines and synclines?
Anticlines and Synclines typically form during crustal deformation as the result of compression that accompanies orogenic mountain building.
What has the author W H Prescott written?
W. H Prescott has written: 'Crustal deformation near Hanford, Washington' -- subject(s): Geodesy
Faulting and folding are both types of what-?
Crustal deformation. That is, when pieces of the Earth's crust change shape due to tectonic forces.
What has the author Arthur G Sylvester written?
Arthur G. Sylvester has written: 'Dry tilt and nearfield geodetic investigations of crustal movements, southern California' -- subject(s): Earth movements 'Crustal deformation observatory' -- subject(s): Plate tectonics
