A break in the rocks pushes the hanging wall up, caused by compression
Thrush fault
A break in the earths crust pushes up a high land from
Fault block mountains
A break in the rocks causes the hanging wall to slide down, caused by expansion
Normal fault
A down warping bend in the rocks with the top layers in the middle
Syncline
A flat area is broken and one part becomes a high flat area
Fault plateau
A lake dries up and leaves a low flat area
Lake plain
A ice sheet plows an area then leaves its sediments as a flat area
Glacier plains
An up warping bend in the rocks with the lower layers in the middle
Anticline
Compression and wrinkling cause a high landform
Folded mountains
Huge lava flows create a high flat area
Lava plateau
Igneous material surfaces and piles up into a high landform
Volcanic mountains
Lava pools cool to form a low flat area
Lava plain
Molten rock pushes up rocks above it to make a high landform
Domed mountains
Rocks break and move sideways past each other
Strike slip fault
Rock layers are bent producing a high flat area
Warped plateau
Sediments deposited by a river create a low flat area
Alluvial plains
Sediments deposited by the receding oceans create a low flat area
Costal plains
What do rocks show when they are bent into tight folds with no evidence of heating or breaking
Sediments being soft when folded
