What are mountains made by continental plates side by side?

Mountains formed by continental plates colliding are known as fold mountains. These mountains are created when the intense pressure from the converging plates causes rocks to buckle and fold, resulting in uplifted and folded mountain ranges. Examples of fold mountains include the Himalayas and the Alps.


What is cease as a fold in material?

A cease in a folded material is where the material has been folded or creased along a specific line. It is a point where the material changes direction or where a fold has been made intentionally. Ceases are often used in sewing and crafting to create crisp edges or to guide construction.


How are folding and faulting similar how are they different?

A fold is a bend in a rock layer caused by forces within the crust of the earth. Folds usually occur in a series and look like waves in the rock. Rock layers can also break, in which case a fault occurs. A fault zone is where the sides of broken rock have moved relative to each other.


What do you call mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?

Fault-block mountains. These are created when rocks along a fault are uplifted and tilted, forming steep mountain ranges with prominent peaks and valleys. An example of such mountains is the Sierra Nevada in California.


What is the rigid shell of rock that surrounds the earth called?

The Earth does not have a "rigid" outer covering, it has an atmosphere.Below the atmosphere is the crust which is made of tectonic plates. However there plates are NOT rigid and to describe them as such would be incorrect, they deform and fold.

What do all flexible objects have in common?

All flexible objects have the ability to bend, twist, or stretch without breaking. They are typically made of materials that can deform under a certain amount of force and return to their original shape once the force is removed.

What is the force exerted by the Tacoma narrows bridge?

the force was torsion. the wind made it bend like silly puddy ************** The force exerted TO the Tacoma narrows bridge was initially the wind resistance. The wind resistance caused the whole bridge to act as a system with forced vibration with damping.


What cause a metal spoon to bend in water?

When a metal spoon is placed in water, the water exerts an upward buoyant force on the spoon due to the displacement of water. If the force of buoyancy is greater than the weight of the spoon, the spoon may bend due to the imbalance of forces acting on it. This effect is especially noticeable if the spoon is made of a soft or thin metal.
