| Syncline | A downward fold in rock formed by compression in Earth's crust |
| Anticline | A upward fold in rock formed by compression in Earth's crust |
| Stress | A force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume |
| Strike-Slip Fault | A type of fault where rock on either side move past each other sideways with little up or down motion |
| Compression | Stress that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks |
| Hanging Wall | The block of rock that forms the upper half of a fault |
| Shearing | Stress that pushes a mass of rock in opposite directions |
| Tension | Stress that strecthes rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle |
| Normal Fault | A type of fault where the hanging wall slides downward, caused by tension in the crust |
| Plateau | A large area of flat land elevated high above sea level |
| Deformation | A change in the volume or shape of the Earth's crust |
| Earthquake | The shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath the Earth's surface |
| Fault | A break in the Earth's crust where slabs of rock slip past each other |
| Folds | Bends in rock that form where part of Earth's crust is compressed |
| Footwall | The block of rock that forms the lower half of a fault |
| Reverse Fault | A type of fault wehre the hanging wall slides upward |
| Fault-Block Mountain | A mountain that forms where a normal fault uplifts a block of rock |
| What are faults? | Cracks in the Earth's crust that result from stress |
| What produces compression, tension and shearing in rock? | Stress on the Earth's crust |
| What causes mountains and other features to form on the surface? | Faulting and folding of the crust |
