Type of Mountain Fault block Mountains Volcanic Mountains It was formed as blocks of rock move up or down along the fault lines. It was formed from a built up of molten materials. What type of plate You would see boundary would you Convergent commonly find this Boundaries. type of mountain along You would see Transform and Divergent Boundaries. You would see Divergent and Convergent Boundaries. 2 Characteristics of this type of mountain Mountains wear down as they get older (older= round, young= rugged). They are pushed up by slow continual stress that causes rocks to bend. The rocks on the mountains are formed sideways. Stress is built up in the crust and then is released by the movement of rock. An opening in Earth’s Crust and the fluid that comes out of volcanoes is called magma. Name two mountain ranges that are examples of each type of mountain Himalayas and Sierra Nevada and The Grand Teton Mountains. Loihi Volcano and Kilauea Volcano. How is this Type of Mountain formed Fold Mountains It was formed as the continental crust crumples and bend into folds. It also forms as the oceanic plate sinks under the edge of a continent. The Rocky Mountains Part Two Instructions: Using the mountain ranges listed as examples go to google earth and locate the mountain range and try to get a picture of the mountain range and paste it below. The Sierra Nevada (Fault- Block Mountains) The Rocky Mountains ( Folded Mountain) The Kilauea Volcano ( Volcanic Mountian)
