Mountains are formed by three main types: fold, block, and volcanic. Fold mountains like the Himalayas are formed by crustal bending and folding of sedimentary rocks along the edges of continents. This folding creates anticlines and synclines. Block mountains like the Appalachians form when parallel faults in the crust cause blocks to be raised, creating steep sides and flat tops separated by rift valleys. Volcanic mountains are formed by volcanic activity and lava flows.

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.
Ppt mountain
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.
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.
Mountains
Mountains come in different shapes and sizes around the world. They can reach heights over 8,000 meters like Mount Everest and K2. Mountains support diverse plant and animal life but conditions are harsh at higher elevations with extreme weather. People climb and use mountains for recreation, religion, and habitation. The formation of mountains is related to tectonic plate movement under the Earth's surface.
Mass movement lesson 9
Mass movements are the downslope movement of material under the direct influence of gravity. They are classified based on their rate of motion and the material involved. Major types include falling, sliding, flowing, and heaving. Factors that influence slope stability and failure include steep slope angles, weathering, water content, vegetation loss, slope dip, and trigger mechanisms such as earthquakes or heavy rainfall.

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.
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.

a) Wegener’s Evidence (Continental Drift)
b) History of Plate Tectonics
c) Breakup and Appearence of Pangea
WHAT IS A PLATE?
Major continental and oceanic plates include:
Types of Earth’s Crust:
Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus) is a scientific theory which describes the large scale motions of Earth's lithosphere.
THE DYNAMIC EARTH:
The earth is a dynamic planet, continuously changing both externally and internally. The earth’s surface is constantly being changed by endo-genetic processes resulting in volcanism and tectonism, and exogenetic processes such as erosion and deposition. These processes have been active throughout geological history. The processes that change the surface feature are normally very slow (erosion and deposition) except some catastrophic changes that occur instantaneously as in the case of volcanism or earthquakes. The interior of the earth is also in motion. Deeper inside the earth, the liquid core probably flows at a geologically rapid rate of a few tenths of mm/s. Several hypotheses attempted to explain the dynamism of the earth.
+ Horizontal movement hypothesis
+ Continental drift, displacement hypothesis
Development of the plate tectonic theory.
Plate tectonic theory arose out of the hypothesis of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. He suggested that the present continents once formed a single land mass that drifted apart, thus releasing the continents from the Earth's core and likening them to "icebergs" of low density granite floating on a sea of denser basalt.
Seafloor Spreading
The first evidence that the lithospheric plates did move came with the discovery of variable magnetic field direction in rocks of differing ages.
Mountains
The document discusses different types of mountains including volcanic, domed, folded, fault-block, and smallest/tallest examples. Volcanic mountains form from molten rock erupting from the earth's crust, examples include mountain ranges on western coasts of North and South America. Folded mountains are formed by the folding of rock layers, examples given are the Appalachians, Rockies, and Andes ranges. Fault-block mountains form when an elongated block of crust is displaced between two faults, examples named are the Great Basin and Range Province and Flinders Ranges.
Geosphere
The document describes the layers of the geosphere - the crust, mantle, and core. It then discusses changes caused by internal forces like volcanoes and earthquakes, and external forces like wind and water erosion. Volcanoes form where magma surfaces, erupting through vents. Earthquakes are caused by crustal movements. Weathering and erosion shape the landscape through water and wind. Rocks form the crust and are classified as sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic based on their formation. The document concludes by defining different types of landscapes like mountains, plains, and coastal regions.
Coastal Landforms
The document discusses various coastal landforms created by erosion and deposition processes along shorelines. It describes landforms such as headlands and bays, cliffs and wave-cut platforms, caves, arches, stacks, and stumps which are formed by coastal erosion. Beaches and spits are landforms created by coastal deposition, with beaches forming in sheltered areas between high and low tide lines, and spits forming as narrow ridges projecting from the coast due to longshore drift depositing materials.

Distribution of Volcanoes
Kinds of Volcanoes
Types of Volcanic Hazards
Preparing for Volcanic Emergencies
A volcano is generally a conical shaped hill or mountain built by accumulations of lava flows, tephra, and volcanic ash. About 95% of active volcanoes occur at the plate subduction zones and at the mid-oceanic ridges. The other 5% occur in areas associated with lithospheric hot spots. These hot spots have no direct relationships with areas of crustal creation or subduction zones. It is believed that hot spots are caused by plumes of rising magma that have their origin within the asthenosphere.
Over the last 2 million years, volcanoes have been depositing lava, tephra, and ash in particular areas of the globe. These areas occur at hot spots, rift zones, and along plate boundaries where tectonic subduction is taking place within the asthenosphere.
The most prevalent kinds of volcanoes on the Earth's surface are the kind which form the "Pacific Rim of Fire". Those are volcanoes which form as a result of subduction of the nearby lithosphere.
Mass wasting 2
Mass wasting refers to the downslope movement of rock and weathered material due to gravitational forces without a carrying medium like water or air. It occurs when the shear stress acting on a slope exceeds the normal force and shear strength holding the slope material in place. Mass wasting can be classified based on the material type, rate of movement, water content, and type of motion. The variables that influence mass wasting include slope angle, relief, thickness of debris, and structural features in the bedrock like joints or bedding planes. Common types of mass wasting are rockfall, debris flows, slides, and creep.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes are formed when magma from the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface and erupts. There are over 1,500 active volcanoes on Earth. Volcanic eruptions occur when pressure builds up from magma and gases below the Earth's crust, causing rock and lava to shoot from the volcano in explosive eruptions. Eruptions can cause dangerous flows of lava, ash, mudslides and floods that threaten nearby areas.
vulcanism
This 20 slide PowerPoint presentation summarizes vulcanicity (internal forces) for a Form Three secondary school class. It defines vulcanicity as the process by which molten rock and gases from Earth's interior surface onto or into the crust. There are two types of vulcanicity: extrusive, where molten materials cool on the surface, forming features like lava and volcanoes; and intrusive, where materials cool below surface to form batholiths, dykes, sills, laccoliths, and lopoliths. Examples of each feature are provided from Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The presentation concludes with homework assignments explaining additional extrusive features.

A presentation to help students to understand the different forms of land present on the surface of the Earth.
Volcanoes and volcanic Activity
Volcanic Activity
- Volcanoes form when magma reaches the Earth's surface, causing eruptions of lava and ash. They occur at destructive and constructive plate boundaries.
- The Mid Atlantic Ridge under the Atlantic Ocean was formed when plates separated and lava came to the surface, cooled and hardened.
- Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Fluvial landforms
This document discusses different types of erosional and depositional landforms created by river processes. It describes landforms such as V-shaped valleys and waterfalls that are created by erosion, and floodplains and deltas that are formed by deposition. It also explains the factors that influence fluvial erosion and the formation of various erosional features like interlocking spurs, rapids, and potholes.
Physical Causes And Consequences Of Mass Movement
Mass movement refers to the downhill movement of weathered rock and soil material under the influence of gravity. Different types of mass movement include fast movements like landslides and mudflows, and slow movements like soil creep and solifluction. The amount, rate, and type of mass movement on a slope depends on factors that influence slope stability such as the slope angle, rock type, climate, vegetation, and human activities.

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.
Mountains-Powerpoint.ppt
Mountains are usually defined as landforms that rise over 300 meters from the surrounding terrain. They can occur singly as summits or in groups called ranges. Famous mountain ranges include the Alps, Rocky Mountains, and Andes, which form mountain chains when they occur together. Some of the highest mountains in the world include Mount Everest at 8,848 meters, Kilimanjaro in Africa at 5,895 meters, Mount Fuji in Japan at 3,776 meters, and Denali in the United States at 6,294 meters. Climbing mountains can be dangerous due to illnesses caused by the cold temperatures and low oxygen levels at high altitudes, such as altitude sickness, frostbite, and hypother
2019 tg lithosphere4 landforms
Small landforms on Earth's surface are called landforms. They are shaped by geological processes over time. Common landform types include shields, sedimentary basins, and mountainous areas. Landforms are also influenced by rock type and climate. Glacial and fluvial processes carve U-shaped valleys and leave behind features like moraines. Karst processes in limestone lead to caves, sinkholes, and limestone pavements. Structural features like faults and folds additionally influence landform development.
Wind and its depositional features
Wind is caused by differences in air pressure that cause air to move from high to low pressure areas. Wind erosion occurs when the force of wind picks up and transports sediment such as sand. Key wind erosion processes include deflation, abrasion, saltation, attrition, and suspension. This shapes various landforms including yardangs, zeugens, mesas, buttes, mushroom rocks, earth pillars, and honeycombed structures. Wind deposition forms features like sand sheets, ripples, falls, and various dune types defined by their crescent, longitudinal, star, parabolic, transverse, whale-back, or undulating shapes.
Volcanic eruptions
Volcanic eruptions occur when magma and gases are released from a volcano, sometimes explosively. The most dangerous type is a glowing avalanche of freshly erupted magma flowing down the volcano's sides at up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Other hazards include ash fall and lahars (mudflows). Volcanoes often cause population displacement and food shortages due to eruptions. The document then discusses different types of volcanic eruptions such as Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, Pelean, and Plinian in more detail. It also covers distribution of volcanoes, causes of eruptions, hazardous effects, damages caused, and disaster management strategies like preparedness, response,
Mountain buildings-Geomorhology Chapter
Mountain building occurs through various geological processes including volcanic activity, tectonic activity like folding and faulting of rocks. The key factors that influence rock deformation are temperature, pressure, rock type, and time. Different types of stresses like compression, tension, and shear can cause rocks to deform through folding or fracturing. Major mountain ranges form at convergent plate boundaries through compression of colliding plates.

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.

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.
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.

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 land to be pushed up and folded. Fault-block mountains form when parts of cracked tectonic plates are pushed upward at faults. Volcanic mountains like Mount Etna are built up from layers of erupted lava and ash. Plateau mountains are revealed through erosion of flat-topped plateaus into distinct ridges.
Mountains
Mountains form through tectonic plate movement and volcanism which pushes land upwards and causes plates to crumple. There are different types of mountains such as volcanic, fold, and block mountains. Mount Fuji in Japan emerged around 100,000 years ago through volcanic activity and is a well-known symbol of Japan. Mountains can impact the environment through precipitation changes and blocking winds.

The document discusses different types of landforms associated with plate tectonic activity, including forces inside and outside the Earth. It describes fold mountains as formed by the buckling of crust along plate boundaries. Oceanic trenches form deep under the sea at destructive boundaries where one plate subducts below another. Island arcs are chains of volcanic islands formed above subduction zones, where melting of the subducting plate fuels volcanism. Ocean ridges occur at divergent boundaries and are underwater mountain ranges built up by volcanic eruptions along spreading centers.

Meso scale features include whalebacks, roches moutonnées, and crag and tail formations. Micro features provide evidence of ice flow direction through striations, chatter marks, and crescentic gouges. The document emphasizes that landforms result from multiple glacial periods and different glacial processes of erosion, entrainment, transport, and deposition

1) Mountain building, or rock deformation, occurs through compressional, tensional, and shear stresses that cause folding and faulting of the Earth's crust. 2) There are three main types of folds - anticlines, synclines, and monoclines - and three main types of faults - normal, reverse, and strike-slip. 3) There are four main types of mountains - folded mountains, fault-block mountains, volcanic mountains, and dome mountains.
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.

Chapter 1 part 1 2 3 and 4
This document provides information about natural hazards caused by tectonic plate movement. It discusses different types of plate boundaries like divergent, convergent and transform boundaries. Key landforms associated with these boundaries are described, such as fold mountains, rift valleys, block mountains, and volcanoes. Specific examples like the Himalayas and Mount Pinatubo are given. The document also explains concepts of tectonic plates, continental drift theory, and the different types of volcanoes.
Sec 3 Elective Geog Unit 1 Tectonics
The document provides information about natural hazards associated with tectonic plate movement, including earthquakes and volcanoes. It discusses the different types of plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, transform) and the landforms created by each, such as rift valleys, fold mountains, and volcanoes. Convergent boundaries are described in more detail, outlining the processes and features of oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental convergence. Hazards of living in areas with active tectonics are also summarized, such as destruction from volcanic eruptions, tsunamis triggered by earthquakes, and landslides.
__deformation_of_the_crust.ppt
The document discusses how mountains are formed through crustal deformation processes. It describes how isostatic adjustments occur as the crust seeks equilibrium between downward pressure from overlying rock and upward pressure from the mantle. When forces exceed rocks' ability to deform through folding, faults form through brittle failure. There are four main types of faults. Mountains are often formed at plate boundaries through collision and compression of crust. The main types are folded mountains, fault-block mountains, volcanic mountains, and dome mountains, each involving different deformation mechanisms.
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.
Chapter 1 living with tectonic hazards complete
This document provides an overview of natural hazards caused by tectonic plate movements, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis. It discusses the structure of the Earth and concepts of plate tectonics such as continental drift and the three types of plate boundaries. Specific landforms associated with each boundary type are described, including fold mountains, rift valleys, and volcanoes. The document also covers volcanic eruptions and the risks of living near volcanoes or in earthquake zones.

Man made disasters
This document discusses various types of man-made and natural disasters. It describes the Chernobyl nuclear disaster where a reactor failed in 1986, releasing radiation that will impact the area for 70 years. It also details the Bhopal gas tragedy in India in 1984 when a chemical plant leaked methyl isocynate gas, exposing over 50,000 people. The document outlines how human activities can exacerbate natural disasters like droughts, landslides and floods, creating "hybrid" disasters. It stresses the importance of disaster management in India and the roles of government agencies and remote sensing satellites in monitoring and responding to disasters.

The document outlines the preamble and objectives of the Indian constitution. It establishes India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic. The key objectives of the constitution are to ensure justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all citizens of India.
Square number 1
Square numbers are integers that are the square of another integer, meaning the result of multiplying some integer by itself. For example, 4 is a square number because it is 2 multiplied by itself.
Class 8 the language of chemistry-5
Chemical equations must be balanced to obey the law of conservation of mass. This law states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, only transformed. To balance an equation, one counts the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction. If the numbers are not equal, coefficients are placed in front of formulas to balance the atoms. For example, the equation H2 + Cl2 → HCl is balanced by adding a coefficient of 2 in front of HCl to make the chlorine atoms equal on both sides of the reaction. Balancing chemical equations ensures the law of conservation of mass is followed.
Presentation
Natural disasters are caused by natural forces that are beyond human control and result in property damage and loss of life. Some common natural disasters include earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, cyclones, tornadoes, and volcanoes. An earthquake is caused by vibrations within the earth's crust and the intensity is measured on the Richter scale. Tsunamis are a series of long waves generated by displacement of the sea bed, often caused by earthquakes under the sea. Flash floods occur in low-lying areas due to heavy rainfall from severe thunderstorms. Understanding the causes of natural disasters can help provide clues to prevent damage and save lives.
Weathering class 7
Weathering involves the disintegration and decomposition of rocks through mechanical, chemical, and biological processes. It is a static process that breaks rocks down over time without moving them, helping to form soil. The main types of mechanical weathering are frost wedging, exfoliation, and erosion by wind and water. Frost wedging occurs when water enters cracks in rocks and freezes, expanding to break the rocks. Exfoliation is the layer by layer peeling of rocks caused by extreme temperature changes. Erosion then transports the weathered materials from their source.
Sentence structures no audio
There are three main types of sentence structures: simple sentences which have a subject and verb, complex sentences which contain one independent clause and at least one dependent clause, and compound sentences which contain at least two independent clauses joined with a coordinating conjunction. Examples of each type are provided.
Class 7 v5 physical and chemical changes
This document discusses physical and chemical changes and provides examples of different types of changes. It explains that changes can be useful and occur everywhere, some are faster or not easily detectable. Examples of changes include water turning to ice, flooded roads drying, night becoming day, rusting of iron, milk becoming curd, seeds growing into saplings. Changes can be categorized as slow or fast, natural or man-made, periodic or non-periodic, desirable or undesirable, reversible or irreversible, and physical or chemical.
Plateaus
A plateau is a broad area of elevated land that is flat or gently rolling, with one or more sides located significantly above the surrounding area. There are several types of plateaus, including intermontane plateaus between mountain ranges, dissected plateaus with deep valleys, and piedmont plateaus bounded by mountains on one side and lowlands on the other. Plateaus can form through volcanic eruption or uplift and are often rich in minerals, though their surfaces may be unsuitable for agriculture except where soil fertility allows farming. Examples of large plateaus include the Deccan Plateau in India and the Tibetan Plateau between the Himalayas and Kunlun Mountains.

It includes notes on the structure of an essay, interpreting poetry subjectively, lines from the poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats, and answers to questions about the poem. The notebook reflects on finding peace during stressful times and analyzing poetic language and themes in the poem.
The Lake Isle of Innisfree - IV
The document is a summary of a poem titled "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats. It discusses several lines from the poem and their meanings. Specifically, it explains that the lines "for peace comes dropping slow, dropping from the veils of/The morning to where the cricket sings” refer to how peace slowly descends upon the poet as the early morning mist descends upon the Earth. It also asks and answers several questions about what the poet wishes to do, how he imagines life being, and why he wants to go to Innisfree.
7th ratio and proportion
Ratios are used to compare quantities of the same kind through division. They are commonly used in mixing cement and sand, idly batter, juice, and proportions in the human body. A ratio expresses the quantitative relation between two amounts showing how many times one value contains or is contained within the other. It can be written as a fraction in simplest form.

Mountain
- 1. MOUNTAINS
- 2. WHAT IS A MOUNTAIN? •A portion of land surface rising considerably above the surrounding country either as a single eminence or in a range of chain is known as a mountain.
- 3. TYPES OF MOUNTAINS •Mountains are classified according to their mode of formation. •1. Fold mountains 2. Block mountains 3. Volcanic mountains
- 4. FORMATION OF FOLD MOUNTAINS •Fold mountains are created by crustal bending due to internal forces of compression from one or both sides. •The folding of rocks produces anticline and syncline. The uphold portion of the fold is called anticline and the down portion of fold is called syncline.
- 6. CHARACTERISTICS OF FOLD MOUNTAIN • They are characterized by ruggedness of relief. • They are mostly constituted by sedimentary rocks. • They are mostly located on the margins of the continents
- 7. TYPES OF FOLD MOUNTAIN
- 8. TYPES OF FOLD MOUNTAIN • Young fold mountains • They are newly formed and have more rugged features like pointed peaks, steeper and deeper slopes. • e.g. Himalayas • Old fold mountains • These mountains are subjected to forces of erosion for a long period and hence, they are much lower with rounded peaks and gentle slope. • e.g Appalachians in North America and Aravallis in India.
- 9. FORMATION OF BLOCK MOUNTAINS • When the earth’s crust bend, folding occurs, but when it cracks, faulting takes place. • When two roughly parallel faults occur on the rock strata, the block on the either sides may be raised forming steep sided block mountain and the block between the raised blocks gets subsided and forms Rift valley.
- 11. CHARACTERISTICS OF BLOCK MOUNTAINS •Block mountains are steep sided and flat topped. •They are massive blocks with smooth topography.
- 12. MEANING OF FAULTING • When rocks are subjected to horizontal compressional forces they do not get folded but break up along the lines of weakness. • Due to this, the rocks get fractured. Such fracture of rock is called faulting. • The line of a fracture in the rocks is called a fault.
- 14. HOMEWORK •1. In a notebook, draw the diagram of fold mountain and block mountain neatly and label its parts. •2. Complete the google form.
