Adjective Brainstorm For each type of mountain, think of three adjectives that describe it. Try to make the adjectives unique to
that mountain type! Folded: Upwarped: Fault-block Volcanic Think About It How might the climate of the western United States be different if the Sierra Nevada mountain range didn't exist?
Young Fold mountains, Fault block mountains, upwarped folds.
Explanation:
The climate of Sierra Nevada is dry and warm it is hot in summers and we in winters. If the Sierra Nevada mountain range did not exist then the climate of the western united states would be cool in summers and colder in winter.
The molten rock from the cloth exploded next to the hole, forming a new crust. Earthquakes occur in these areas, called distribution centers, are minimal. The Great Rift Valley in Africa, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden were all formed as a result of the movement of various plates.
The changing plate border is the area where two tectonic plates move to each other, often causing one plate to slide under the other. A collision of tectonic plates could lead to earthquakes, mountains, mountain construction, and other geological events.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, the area where they meet is a rotating or lateral error. The San Andreas Fault is one of the best examples of lateral plate movement.
The air, water, and ice erode and shape the earth. Volcanic activity and earthquakes are changing the landscape in a dramatic and often violent way. And with more time, the movement of the plates of the earth also exposes the oceans and continents. (Check the image for evidence)
