I) Where Mountains FormA)Mountain Belts
1) Most Mountains are associated with convergent plate boundaries
2) Most mountains occur in long belts that follow convergent boundaries
3) Himalayas lie along a current convergent boundary
4) Appalachians are in the middle of a plate – but were formed by converging plates over a billion years ago.

B) Continental Margins (land and sea meet)
1) Active Margins
a) occur along plate boundaries
b) mountain building takes place
c) Himalayan Mountains
2) Passive Margins
a) stable areas away from plate
boundaries
b) Appalachian Mountains

c) Passive margins provide the materials or
sediments from which mountains form.

IV) Mountain Building
A)Major mountain systems are related to plate tectonics. Most mountains form along convergent boundaries

V) Mountain Facts
A) Himalayan Mountains
1) The largest/highest mountain range
B) Mid-Atlantic Ridge
1) The longest mountain range

Factors that affect mountain Deformation
• Deformation – all changes that occur to a body of rock.
1. Temperature2. Pressure3. Rock Type4. Time exposed to pressure or heat
![Page 8: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Tectonic Forces
Mountains are the result of rock that is permanently deformed by stress/forces
• Three types of forces cause three types of faults:
• Tension• Compression• Shear
![Page 9: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1) Break in crustal rock with movement
![Page 10: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Normal Faults(Dip-slip fault)
• Caused by TENSION forces• Occur along divergent plate boundaries• Rock ABOVE fault surface moves
DOWNWARD
![Page 11: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reverse Faults (Dip-slip fault)
• Caused by COMPRESSION forces• Occur along convergent plate boundaries• Hanging wall surface moves UPWARD
![Page 12: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Strike-Slip Faults
• Caused by SHEAR forces• Occur along transform plate boundaries• Rocks on either side of fault line move
past each other with NO vertical movement.

Horsts & Grabens
• Large blocks of crust that rise due faulting on either side of the block.

III) Types of Mountains
A)Mountains are classified according to their dominant featuresB) Four main categories
1) Volcanic mountains (Mt. Shasta)
![Page 17: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Volcanic Mountains• Formed by lava and pyroclastic material that
build up.
![Page 18: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2) Folded mountainsa) Largest mountains on Earthb) Urals, Himalayas, Appalachians
![Page 19: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Folded Mountains
• Mountains that form from folding processes (compression)
![Page 20: Chapter 11](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b5550346895dd8b230/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A) Folds
1) Rock is bent into a series of waves2) Results from compressional force3) Two common types of folds
a) Anticline – upward fold of rockb) Syncline – downward fold of rock

4) Dome Mountains
a) Individual, isolated structures that form in layers of sedimentary rock.
b) There are two types of dome mountains:
Plutonic Dome
• an igneous intrusion pushes up existing rock layers.

Tectonic Dome
Tectonic Dome:
Black Hills of South Dakota (Mt. Rushmore)
Yosemite National Park
• uplifting forces arch rock layers into a dome
