Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
Tectonic stress forms faults and blocks mountains.
The type of mountain that forms when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward is the?
Folded Mountains
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
Fault-block mountains form due to divergent boundary plates.
How are strike-slip mountains formed?
Strike-slip mountains, also known as fault-block mountains, form from high to moderate angle faults on at least one side. Broad uplifting forms the mountains causing elongation and faulting.
Compressional stress is the major factor that forms?
Folded mountains
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
Tectonic stress forms faults and blocks mountains.
Where can fault - block mountains be found?
Fault-block mountain: Mountain that forms along a normal fault where stress causes huge blocks of rock to tilt up.
Which two types of plate boundary forms volcanoes?
Fault Block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Fold & Thrust Mountains such as the Himalayans.
The type of mountain that forms when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward is the?
Folded Mountains
Which type of mountain forms because of a divergent plate boundary?
Fault-block mountains form due to divergent boundary plates.
What mountain forms vertical fault movement?
fault block
How are strike-slip mountains formed?
Strike-slip mountains, also known as fault-block mountains, form from high to moderate angle faults on at least one side. Broad uplifting forms the mountains causing elongation and faulting.
What kind of stress does normal fault form?
Normal fault forms tension stress. It is a stress state wherein a body of material is being stretched or expanded.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
What kind of stress is formed at a strike slip?
Stress forms a fault not the other way round.
What is the block of rock that forms the lower half of a fault?
The lower block is known as the footwall.
What is a block of a rock that forms the lower half of a fault?
This block of rock is called a footwall.
