The action of earth's crust buckling in wave-like patterns is due to two plates coming together or converging. These plates can be either oceanic or continental plates. Examples of these types of plates are the Eurasian, Pacific, Australian, Caribbean plates.

What happens to the rainfall in Texas as it moves from east to west?

Rainfall decreases as it moves from east to west in Texas due to the rain shadow effect caused by the Rocky Mountains. The mountains block moisture-laden air from reaching the western regions, creating drier conditions. This leads to a drier climate in areas west of the mountains.

What happens to the lithosphere as fault-block mountains form?

As fault-block mountains form, the lithosphere is stretched and pulled apart along fault lines. This stretching causes the crust to fracture and blocks of rock to move vertically, creating a series of alternating valleys and ridges. Over time, the fault-block mountains continue to uplift and erode, shaping the landscape.
