There are four main types of mountains: folded, fault-block, upwarped, and volcanic. Folded mountains like the Himalayas are formed by continental plate collisions and are often the tallest. Fault-block mountains result from the dropping of rock blocks, creating valleys. Upwarped mountains are pushed up from below by rising magma. Volcanic mountains like the Sierra Nevada are built up from multiple eruptions of lava on the surface.

Mountain Building
The document discusses how plate tectonics leads to mountain building. Most of the world's major mountain ranges, like the Andes and Himalayas, are found along plate boundaries where converging plates cause folding and uplift of the crust over millions of years. The highest mountain ranges formed relatively recently, within the past tens of millions of years, due to movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
Midoceanic ridges
Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain systems formed at divergent tectonic plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is generated. They consist of a chain of mountains linked by a central rift valley and result from mantle upwelling and melting in response to plate spreading. As the buoyant magma rises to the seafloor at the plate boundary, it emerges as lava to form new ocean crust upon cooling.
Volcanoes
This document discusses volcanoes and volcanic hazards. It begins by defining a volcano as a vent connecting molten rock below the Earth's surface to the surface. Volcanoes erupt when magma rises due to being less dense than surrounding rock. The type of eruption depends on gas and viscosity levels, with more gas and viscosity causing explosive eruptions. Volcanic hazards include pyroclastic flows, lava flows, ash falls, and lahars. Monitoring of seismic activity, deformation, and gas output can help predict eruptions and minimize risks from active volcanoes.
Types of Mountains
This document discusses different types of mountains including volcanic, fault-block, folded, and dome mountains. Volcanic mountains form from magma erupting at the surface, building up layers of ash and lava. Folded mountains like the Himalayas and Andes form from tectonic plate collisions that cause the earth's crust to fold upwards. Fault-block mountains form when faults in the crust force rock blocks upwards. Dome mountains form when magma pushes up rock layers into a dome shape without erupting. Examples of each type are provided.

There are four main types of mountains based on their origin:
1) Fold mountains like the Himalayas and Andes are formed by the folding of crustal rocks under compressive forces.
2) Block mountains such as the Vosges and Black Forest are formed by faulting of the earth's crust.
3) Volcanic mountains including Kilavea volcano and Stromboli volcano are built up from accumulated volcanic materials.
4) Residual mountains such as the Aravalli and Nilgiri ranges are formed by differential weathering that removes softer rock layers and leaves behind harder rock.

Its about the characteristics of major mountain mountain range and famouse mountain ranges in the world.
Mountains
Mountains are landforms that rise steeply above surrounding land. They form through various geological processes such as volcanic eruptions, uplifting of the Earth's crust, erosion, and folding of layers. The highest mountain is Mount Everest at 8,849 meters tall. Mountains have varying climates depending on elevation, with colder temperatures and less oxygen at higher elevations. The main types of mountains include volcanic, dome, erosional, fault-block, and folded mountains.

Major features of earth's surface
The document discusses major features of Earth's surface, including:
1) The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that move in relation to each other, resulting in plate boundaries where plates collide, move apart, or slide past each other.
2) Major continental features include cratons, which are stable portions of continents composed of basement rock covered by sedimentary deposits, and mountain belts along craton edges.
3) Major oceanic features include mid-ocean ridges, fracture zones, seamounts, volcanic island arcs, trenches, and the continental margin between continents and ocean basins.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes form at plate boundaries where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. There are three main types of volcanoes based on location: shield volcanoes at divergent boundaries, stratovolcanoes at subduction zones, and hotspots formed by mantle plumes. Volcanoes pose hazards from lava flows, explosions, and ashfall. Classification systems describe volcanoes based on activity levels from dormant to active. Monitoring systems use alert levels and colors to communicate volcanic unrest and eruptions.
Volcanism
Volcanoes form when hot molten rock (magma) rises from below the Earth's surface and erupts. They consist of a vent, conduit and surrounding cone built from erupted material. Most volcanoes occur at plate boundaries or hot spots. Magma rises due to lower density and pressure changes, erupting either explosively with gas-rich magma or effusively with low-viscosity magma. Eruptions produce hazards like lava flows, pyroclastic flows and falls. Notable examples include Vesuvius destroying Pompeii and Krakatoa's powerful 1883 eruption. Supervolcanoes are capable of much larger eruptions than normal volcanoes.
Volcanoes: Its characteristics and products.
This document provides an overview of volcanoes and volcanic activity. It defines key volcanic features and terms like magma, vent, lava, and ash. It describes the three main types of volcanoes based on activity level - active, dormant, and extinct. Different types of volcanic eruptions and the factors that influence eruption type are outlined. Common volcanic landforms like lava flows with different surface textures, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud volcanoes are also summarized. The document concludes by reviewing the main areas of volcanic activity around the world.
Volcano
A volcano is an opening in the Earth's crust through which magma and gases erupt. It consists of three main elements - a vent, conduit, and magma chamber. There are different types of volcanoes defined by their structure, including composite/stratovolcanoes with steep slopes built up of layers of pyroclastic material, shield volcanoes with broad dome shapes built up by fluid lava flows, and cinder cone volcanoes built from loose bits of ejected magma. Volcanic activity occurs at constructive and destructive plate boundaries, with different eruption styles depending on the tectonic setting and rate of pressure release.
Chapter 1 living with tectonic hazards tr copy
This document discusses tectonic plates and hazards. It begins by defining a natural hazard and describing the internal structure of the Earth. Tectonic plates consist of oceanic and continental crust and move due to convection currents in the mantle. There are three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries form mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys, convergent boundaries result in ocean trenches, volcanic islands, and mountain ranges, and transform boundaries cause earthquakes along strike-slip faults. Specific examples of each boundary type are highlighted, such as sea-floor spreading at oceanic divergent boundaries and the Himalayas forming from the Indian and Eurasian plate collision.
PLATE TECTONIC
The document summarizes key concepts of plate tectonic theory. It explains that the lithosphere is made up of rigid tectonic plates that float on the asthenosphere and move at rates of 1-16 cm/year. There are three main types of plate boundaries - divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they slide past each other. Plate tectonics generates phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain building and affects climate by moving continents and oceans over geologic time.
Mountain Project
There are five main types of mountains: fold mountains like the Himalayas which are formed by colliding tectonic plates; volcanic mountains such as Mount St. Helens which are formed by volcanic eruptions; dome mountains like Mount Kea that form when magma forces up from below; plateau mountains in places like New Zealand which form from erosion of flat plains pushed upwards; and block mountains exemplified by the Sierra Nevada range that are created by cracks filling with rock and magma.
Lesson 13: Rocks
Rocks come in many colors and sizes and are found everywhere on Earth. The document discusses the three main types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma and lava. Sedimentary rocks form from compression of sediments and include sandstone, limestone, and shale. Metamorphic rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks but were changed by heat, pressure, and chemical processes into new forms like marble and quartzite. The rock cycle shows how rocks continuously change between these three types over time.
Hotspots and Mantle plumes
The document provides an overview of mantle plumes and hotspots. It discusses that mantle plumes are columns of hot material rising from deep within the mantle, and hotspots are the surface expression of these plumes seen as volcanic regions. Hotspots have distinct geochemical signatures and are unrelated to tectonic plate boundaries. They can form hotspot tracks as the tectonic plate moves over them, leaving age-progressive volcanic chains. While hotspots were thought to be fixed in the mantle, evidence now suggests they may move slowly relative to each other over geologic timescales. Mantle plumes provide an explanation for various volcanic and tectonic phenomena seen in the interiors of tectonic plates.
Internal Structure of Earth
Deep parts of Earth are studied indirectly, however, largely through the branch of geology called geophysics
Earth Science 4.4 : Deforming the Earth's Crust
1) Rocks can deform through folding or faulting when subjected to compression or tension stress from tectonic plate movement. There are three main types of folds - anticlines, synclines, and monoclines - and three main types of faults - normal, reverse, and strike-slip.
2) Mountains form through various processes including folding of rock layers, faulting that drops crustal blocks, and volcanic eruption of magma at the surface.
3) Vertical movement of the crust involves either uplift, where areas rise to higher elevations, or subsidence, where areas sink to lower elevations. Uplift can occur through rebound as crust rebounds after being compressed. Subs
Geomorphic processes
This document summarizes geomorphic processes including exogenic processes like weathering, mass wasting, erosion and aggradation that modify the Earth's surface through physical and chemical means. Endogenic processes like volcanism and diastrophism involve subsurface movement of magma or rock. Extra-terrestrial processes include meteorite impacts that also shape landforms. The document discusses various agents and mechanisms of weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition of earth materials.
Chapter 1 Plate Tectonics Power Point
The document discusses Earth's structure and plate tectonics. It describes how Earth formed layers with different densities, including the inner and outer core, mantle, crust, and lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of tectonic plates that move over time. There are three types of plate boundaries - divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they push together, and transform where they scrape past each other. Plate tectonics explains how continents have changed positions over billions of years and continue to move today.
Rocks Poweroint
Rocks are solid mixtures of minerals that form in three main ways: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to existing rocks through heat, pressure, or both. Rocks are classified based on their composition, texture, and formation process. They have many important uses for tools, buildings, and helping scientists understand the past.
Mountains 5 types
It is a helpful presentation about mountains. All complete 5 types of mountains are included in this presentation. You can also see some of the examples for each type of mountain. You can use it as a presentation at school.
Subduction zone
An oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate at a subduction zone due to the lower density of oceanic crust. As the oceanic plate descends it melts, and the resulting magma rises to create volcanic arcs, trenches, and island arcs above the subduction zone. Common examples are found along the Cascade Volcanic Arc in North America.
Orogenic mountain belts
Orogenesis is the process of mountain building that occurs during an orogeny. An orogeny involves tectonic processes like subduction and plate convergence that cause deformation and metamorphism of the Earth's crust, forming orogenic belts made of parallel rock structures. Orogenies can take tens of millions of years to build mountains and are associated with the development of foreland basins in front of the growing mountain range.
Volcanism
The document provides an overview of volcanism and the study of volcanoes (volcanology). It discusses the motivation for studying volcanoes, early perceptions and theories about volcanoes, how volcanoes work including the magma system and role of plate tectonics, what magma is and how it is generated, and how volcanologists study volcanoes to better understand volcanic processes and predict eruptions.

How are Mountains formed?
Mountains are formed by the slow movements of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. The Earth's crust is made up of six huge plates that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When two plates collide, they can fold and uplift to form mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas which were created by the collision of the Asian and Indian plates. There are five main types of mountain formations including fold mountains, fault-block mountains, dome mountains, volcanic mountains, and plateau mountains.

The document discusses mountains in an enthusiastic way, repeating the word "mountains" three times. It conveys a sense of awe or excitement about mountains through its repetitive phrasing and capitalization of the word "Some". However, it does not provide many specific details about mountains beyond this implied sense of awe.

3.3 mountain formation
The document discusses the four main types of mountains: folded mountains formed by continental collisions, fault-block mountains formed by dropping rock blocks, volcanic mountains formed by molten rock erupting, and dome mountains formed when molten rock pushes up rock layers. Plateaus are also discussed as being large uplifted areas of flat rock formed slowly over time. The Sierra Nevada mountain range in California was formed when thick horizontal rock layers were slowly lifted up.
Importance of mountains..
Mountains are important physical features that were formed by tectonic plate collisions and crustal uplifting. They occupy 1/5 of the Earth's surface and support 1/2 of the world's population by providing fresh water from watersheds and rivers. Mountains are centers of biodiversity, influence climate and weather patterns, and have important agricultural, resource, hydroelectric and tourism values. They are home to many of the world's highest and most challenging peaks.
Coloring book
This document provides instructions for following a PowerPoint presentation on tectonic plate boundaries. It instructs students to color code oceanic and continental crust on a map, label examples of different boundary types, and record key information about each boundary. It includes illustrations and descriptions of divergent boundaries between oceanic/continental plates, convergent boundaries between oceanic/continental and oceanic/oceanic plates, and transform boundaries between continental plates. Examples of specific boundaries and their associated seismic and volcanic effects are provided.
Mountain Range Options
Mountain Range options are basket options that combine characteristics of range options and multi-asset basket options. They are structured on two or more underlying assets and allow hedgers to cover multiple positions with one derivative. Monte Carlo simulation is commonly used to price Mountain Range options since a closed-form solution is not possible due to the complexity of estimating correlations between many underlyings. Greeks such as Delta can also be estimated using finite difference approximations in the Monte Carlo framework.

The formation of mountains
There are several types of mountains formed by different geological processes. Fold mountains like the Himalayas are formed when tectonic plates collide and the Earth's surface crumples upwards. Fault block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada form when cracks open in the Earth's surface, pushing rock upwards in blocks. Dome mountains like Bear Butte have a rounded shape caused by magma pushing up from below without erupting. Volcanic mountains form around volcanoes from ash and cooled lava. Plateau mountains result from erosion carving away surrounding material and leaving high cliffs.

#5.3 plate tectonics (orogeny)
Orogeny is the process of mountain building which occurs through the convergence of tectonic plates and subduction zones. Mountains can be formed by hot spots in the Earth's crust like the Hawaiian Islands, or through the convergence of oceanic plates forming island arcs, oceanic and continental plates forming volcanic mountain ranges, or two continental plates forming non-volcanic mountain ranges like fold mountains such as the Alps, Urals, and Himalayas.

3.3 mountain formation
There are four main types of mountains:
1) Folded mountains are formed by the collision of tectonic plates and are folded like an accordion. Plateaus are also formed in this process through the uplifting of thick, horizontal rock layers.
2) Fault-block mountains form when rock blocks drop along faults, sometimes creating valleys called grabens.
3) Volcanic mountains form from eruptions of molten rock on land or under the ocean at convergent plate boundaries or hot spots.
4) Dome mountains are unusual as they form when molten rock rises and pushes up overlying rock layers.
Mountains
There are several types of mountains formed by different geological processes:
Dome mountains form when sedimentary rocks are warped upward into a circular shape. Fold mountains like the Himalayas result from tectonic plate collisions that cause layered rocks to crumple. Fault-block mountains such as the Sierra Nevada are formed by upward or downward movement of rock along faults in the earth's crust. Volcanic mountains like Mount Etna are built up from layers of lava and ash emitted during volcanic eruptions. Plateau mountains are revealed through erosion of flat-topped plateaus into distinct ridges and valleys.

Dome mountains form when magma pushes up a dome shape under the crust but does not erupt at the surface. Volcanic mountains are built up from eruptive material around volcanic vents. Plateau mountains are revealed by erosion carving channels into plateaus over billions of years.
Mountains
There are several types of mountains formed by different geological processes:
- Fold mountains are the most common, formed by the collision and crumpling of tectonic plates. Vast mountain ranges like the Himalayas are examples.
- Fault-block mountains are created when faults in the Earth's crust force material upward, breaking the crust into chunks that move up or down.
- Dome mountains form when magma pushes up a dome shape under the crust but does not erupt at the surface. Erosion then carves the circular mountain range.
- Volcanic mountains are built up from eruptions of lava, ash and rock around a volcanic vent. Examples include mountains in
Mountains
Mountains form in different ways and change over time. There are three main types of mountains: volcanic, folded, and fault-block. Volcanic mountains are built up from lava or debris from eruptions. Folded mountains form when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward at convergent plate boundaries. Fault-block mountains have sharp, jagged peaks and form when large blocks of crust drop down along faults. Over millions of years, mountains change shape as weather and erosion wear them down.
Mountain building1
Mountain building occurs through various deformation processes depending on the forces involved. Folds form when flat rock layers are bent under compressional stress, creating structures like anticlines and synclines. Faults form when rocks fracture under tensional or compressional stresses, creating features like normal faults and thrust faults. Mountains are classified by the dominant deformation processes, such as folded mountains formed by folding and fault-block mountains formed by uplift along normal faults. Mountain building occurs at convergent plate boundaries through processes like subduction, which forms volcanic island arcs and deformed continental crust.
Mountains Project For 2 Days
There are three main types of mountains: volcanic mountains, dome mountains, and fold mountains. Volcanic mountains are formed from volcanic eruptions that pile lava and ash into cone-shaped peaks. Dome mountains form when magma pushes up from below but cannot penetrate the earth's crust, hardening into rounded summits. Fold mountains such as the Himalayas, Andes, and Rockies are created by tectonic plate collisions that crumple the edges of plates upward.

Mountains are large landforms that rise above the surrounding land, usually in the form of peaks over 900m high. There are four main types of mountains: fold mountains, which are formed by the collision and folding of tectonic plates; block mountains, formed by uplift caused by faulting; relict mountains, formed by the weathering of resistant rock layers; and volcanic mountains, formed by the eruption and accumulation of lava and ash. Each type has distinct characteristics in their formation that determine their shape and structure.

Volcanoes
Volcanoes form at boundaries where tectonic plates meet, especially along the Ring of Fire surrounding the Pacific Ocean. All volcanoes have vents and may also have craters, magma chambers, and different types of underground rock formations such as dikes, sills, laccoliths, and batholiths. There are three main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes which erupt fluid lava to build broad bases; cinder cone volcanoes which erupt thick chunks of lava to form steep cones; and composite volcanoes made of layers of ash/lava. Volcanoes erupt when pressure builds from subducting plates pushing rock down and melting it in magma chambers until it escapes upward.
Major landforms of the earth
This document defines and describes different types of landforms including mountains, plateaus, and plains. It discusses how mountains can be formed through folding of the earth's crust, fracturing into blocks, or volcanic eruptions. Plateaus are raised flat lands that were once mountains that have been worn down over time. Plains are extensive flat lands that can be formed through structural processes like uplift and subsidence, deposition of sediments by rivers to form alluvial plains, or movement of glaciers to form glacial plains. The document provides examples and details on types of each landform.
Major landforms of the earth
This document discusses the major landforms of the Earth. It describes landforms as natural shapes or features on the Earth's surface, including mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains, islands, and peninsulas. Mountains form through various geological processes like folding, faulting, volcanic activity, and erosion. There are different types of mountains such as fold mountains, block mountains, volcanic mountains, and residual mountains. Valleys can be V-shaped, U-shaped, or flat-floored. Other landforms discussed include plateaus, plains, islands, and peninsulas.
major landforms.pdf
Major landforms include mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, beaches, and sand dunes. Mountains are significant second-order landforms that rise abruptly from surrounding areas. There are four main types of mountains: fold mountains formed by collision of tectonic plates; fault-block mountains formed by tension or compression breaking the earth's crust; volcanic mountains formed by eruption of magma; and residual mountains formed by erosion leaving resistant areas protruding. Plateaus are elevated uplands with extensive level surfaces and steep edges, such as the Tibetan Plateau formed by crustal shortening. Plains are low-lying areas that may be level, undulating, or have low hills, and form through various geological processes.
5.1Movement of Rock Builds Mountains
Mountains form primarily along tectonic plate boundaries as a result of the movement and collisions of plates. Rocks found at mountain locations, such as Mt. Everest, contain evidence of this plate movement, including marine fossils from ancient oceans. Mountains grow taller as long as uplift rates exceed weathering and erosion rates. Over millions of years, weathering and erosion will eventually reduce tall mountain ranges to flattened hills unless uplift continues due to plate movements.
Earth’s landmasses
There are four main types of landscapes on Earth: mountains, plains, plateaus, and coastal plains. Mountains form through various geological processes like folding, faulting, and volcanic activity. They can be grouped into mountain ranges, systems, belts, and include both high and low relief features. Plains are flat low-lying areas characterized by broad rivers and streams, and include coastal plains along coastlines and interior plains inland. Plateaus are broad flat areas that rise significantly above sea level, with mostly flat surfaces used often for grazing.

Unit 1 earth's history
4.65 billion years ago, a solar nebula collapsed, forming planets, asteroids, and other bodies. The outer planets like Jupiter are made mostly of hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets like Earth contain more iron and silicates. Early Earth had varying atmospheric conditions, with Mars having a thin cold atmosphere and Venus a thick, hot one dominated by carbon dioxide. Around 540 million years ago, the Cambrian Explosion occurred, resulting in a rapid diversification of multicellular animal life and the appearance of most modern animal phyla. Following mass extinctions, mammals diversified and filled ecological niches once dominated by dinosaurs.

It also notes concerns about increased pollution in the ocean from substances like lead and plastic, as well as how ocean currents circulate globally through surface currents driven by winds and the Coriolis effect and deep currents driven by temperature differences.
7.3 star groups
The document discusses different astronomical objects including stars, constellations, galaxies, and the Milky Way galaxy. It notes that while stars appear single, most are actually part of binary or triple star systems. Constellations are patterns of stars that appear close together but are actually extremely far apart. Galaxies are large groups of stars, dust and gas bound by gravity, with the Milky Way being the galaxy where Earth is located.
5.6 alternative resources
Alternative energy sources are being explored as fossil fuels diminish, including solar, geothermal, and energy from water and wind. Solar energy can be collected passively through building design or actively through solar collectors. Geothermal energy harnesses heat from the earth's interior by drilling wells into hot underground water or steam. Hydroelectric power generates electricity from the force of running water through dams and turbines, while tidal power uses the daily movement of ocean tides. Wind farms employ propeller wind turbines that can power entire communities in windy areas.

It notes that while stars appear single, most are actually part of binary or triple star systems. Constellations are patterns of stars that appear close together but are actually extremely far apart. Galaxies are large groups of stars, dust and gas bound by gravity, with the Milky Way being the galaxy where Earth is located.
8.1 ocean properties
Ocean water is a complex solution made up of 96.5% water along with dissolved gases, solids, and tiny organisms. It contains around 75 different chemicals, with the six most abundant being chlorine, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, and potassium. Salinity increases with evaporation rate and depth, and the relative amounts of dissolved solids remains constant globally due to ocean mixing. Surface water absorbs infrared sunlight, decreasing in temperature with increasing depth due to formation of a thermocline where warm and cold water do not easily mix.
8.2 life in the ocean
The document discusses life in the ocean and divides it into benthic and pelagic zones. The benthic zones include the intertidal, sublittoral, bathyal, abyssal, and hadal zones which are defined by their depths and distances from sunlight, with shallower zones receiving more sunlight to support plant life. The pelagic zones are the neritic zone above the continental shelf which is ideal for marine life, and the oceanic zone which has four layers - epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, and abyssopelagic - defined by increasing depths.
7.2 characteristics and evolution of stars
1) Stars begin as clouds of dust and gases called nebulae. Under gravity, the gases condense to form protostars and begin nuclear fusion, becoming main sequence stars like our Sun.
2) As stars age, they expand and become red giants or supergiants after exhausting hydrogen fusion. Further fusion of helium produces carbon.
3) When further fusion is no longer possible, the star collapses into a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole in a supernova explosion, depending on the star's original mass.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
