  1. Forces shaping the Earth Section 2

  2. Uplift of Earth’s crust What are the different types of mountains? There are 4 types • Fault- block • Folded mountain • Unwarped mountain • Volcanic mountain

  3. Uplift of Earth’s crust How do fault block mountains form? When tension forces pull Earth’s plates away rift valleys and faults are formed. Fault-block mountains are sharp jagged mountains made of huge, tilted blocks of rock that are seperated from surrounding rocks by faults.

  5. Uplift of Earth’s crust • How do folded mountains form? • What is compression? Folded mountains are formed by the folding rock layers caused by compression. When pressure is being squeezed. The Appalachian mountains are an example of folded mountains.

  6. Uplift of Earth’s Crust • How do upward mountains form? Upward mountains form when forces inside the Earth push up the crust Example: Rocky mountains

  7. Folded mountains
