What are two types of faults that can result in mountains?
Thrust faults and reverse faults can result in mountain formation. Thrust faults occur when rocks are pushed up and over each other, while reverse faults involve compressional forces causing rocks to move vertically. Both of these fault types contribute to the uplift and formation of mountain ranges.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Is Mount Everest a fault block mountain?
Mount Everest is not a fault block mountain; it is a fold mountain. It was formed through convergent tectonic plate movement, where the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate, causing the Himalayan mountain range to rise up. Fault block mountains are formed from the uplift of large blocks of the Earth's crust along fault lines.
What are the Himalayan mountains a result of?
The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.
What landforms are created by compression?
Landforms created by compression include fold mountains like the Himalayas, fault-block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada, and reverse faults that form during continental collisions. These landforms result from the Earth's crust being pushed together, causing rocks to deform and create uplifted structures.
Why are Himalayan mountains reverse mountains?
becauuse of the gravity of the earth
What type of landform is the rocky mountains?

Do Yaks live on mountains?
A Himalayan yak lives in Himalayan mountains.
Who are the Himalayan mountains?

What type of fault are the great smokey mountains?
The Great Smokey Mountains are part of the Appalachians which are the result of a series of ancient reverse faults.
What 2 countries bod er the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayan mountains are on the border of Nepal and Tibet.
What happens at a reverse fault?
Where fault blocks collide into each other. The most prominent example of this are the Himalayan Mountains formed by the collision of the Indian plate and the Eurasian Plate making what is called a folded mountain.
Which continent can you find the Himalayan mountains?
The Himalayan mountains are found in Asia.
