MOUNTAINS ............

HEY  it is  Sydni here today.  I will be talking about mountains today.  How was your SPRING BREAK? Well we have ALOT of things to talk about so lets get started .........

Well at first I did not know much about mountains, but now I know a little bit more becuase Mr. Sellars taught me a whole lot about them....

HOW DO MOUNTAINS FORM.................

Mountains form many diffrent ways ...... Some form by subducting. Also did you know if one plate is lighter than the other the lightest one will go on top and the heaviest one will be forced aginst the mantel ... Also, when they are the same density they both crumble up, but neither off them go down to the mantel .........




HEY DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS AND THE HIMALAYAS WERE FOLDED MOUNTAINS.... OMG THAT IS SO COOL...........

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FOLDED MOUNTAIN AND A FAULT BLOCK??

Folded mountains are formed from the collision of continental tectonic plates

A fault block is formed by a movement of a large crystal block.

Dome shaped mountains are formed just like volcanoes ,and obvisouly they are domed shaped.

DIFFERENT  WAYS MOUNTAINS FORM ... :)
No matter how they form they all take a process of million of years of growing.
They form many different ways obvisouly. Most of the major mountains form when 2 tectonic plates cfrash together.
