pushing (compression)

According to the illustration, the middle block is pushed up – a lifted block. This can only happen in compression forces. Otherwise, if they wee tension forces, the middle block would sink. Also due to the compression forces, it is possible to view the warping of the crust in the illustration.

Explanation:

Examples of such geographical features are the Vosges mountain in France  called a block mountain. The parts that are uplifted are called Horsts while those that sink are Graben. Compression forces also form fold mountains like the Himalayas. In this case the crust dies not shear from the compression forces. Only Antisynclines and Synclines are formed.

What are some interesting facts about the geosphere
yanalaym [24]
Here are some 5 facts I find interesting

-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.

-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.

-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air

-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,

-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.
