| anticline | uncurved fold in rock layers in which the oldest layer is the center of the fold |
| plateau | large area of flat topped rocks high above sea level |
| isostacy | balancing of forces pressing up and down on earth's crust |
| fault | break in rock along which rocks on either side of the break move |
| shearing | stress that pushes rocks in opposite horizontal directions |
| strain | change in shape & volume of rocks that occurs due to stress |
| mountain range | group of adjacent mtns. with the same general shape and structure |
| fracture | break in rock along which there is no movement |
| deformation | bending, tilting and breaking of earth's crust |
| tension | stress that pulls rocks apart |
| stress | the amount of force per unit area that is placed on a given material |
| mountain belt | group of large mountain system |
| monocline | a fold in rock layers which obth limbs remain horizontal |
| footwall | in a nonvertical fault the rock below the fault plane |
| compression | stress that squeezes crustal rocks together |
| syncline | down curved fold in rock layer in which the youngest layer in the center |
| folding | permanent deformation of bending of rock |
| hanging wall | in a nonvertical fault the rock above the fault plane |
| mountain system | group of adjacent mountain ranges |
| dome mountain | formed with molten rock pushes up rock layers on the earth's surface; separate high peaks |
| fault-block mountain | mountains formed when faulting breaks the earth surface to drop down relative to other blocks |
| folded mountain | landform created when tectonic movements bend and uplift rock layers |
| volcanic mountains | mountains formed when molten rock erupts onto th earth's surface |
