| thrust fault | hanging wall moves up and over the foot wall |
| normal fault | hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall |
| shearing | rocks are pushed in two horizontal directions |
| tension | stress that pulls rocks apart |
| reverse fault | hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall |
| fold | bend in a ductile rock |
| dome | circular or oval uplifted area caused by rising magma |
| lateral fault | blocks of rock slide past each other horizontally |
| deformation | breaking, tilting or folding of rocks |
| mantle | molten rock found under the crust |
| joint | parallel rock fractures that occur along flat surfaces |
| rift valley | block of rock between two normal faults slides downward |
| fault block mountains | formed by blocks of rocks being uplifted by normal faults |
| syncline | downward fold in a rock |
| anticline | upward fold in a rock |
| crust | outermost layer of the Earth |
| compression | stress that squeezes rocks together |
| ductile | describes rocks that bend easily |
