If you are looking for metamorphic rocks, the best place to look would be
the core of a mountain range
on the sea floor
within a batholith
in geologically young rocks
at boundaries, accumulation of sediment occurs that will eventually be part of a mountain.
transform
divergent
ocean-continent convergent
strike-slip
at arc-continent convergence, an island (or small portion of a continent) is welded onto the opposite because
of gravitational collapse
the island arc is more dense than the continent
the island arc is too buoyant (less dense) to subduct at the subduction zone
of a transform fault
the basin-and-range province of the western united states is formed from
hundreds of fault-block mountains
compression creating normal faults
transform faults
convergent boundaries
the applachain mountains are and (circle two)
very young
very old
being uplifted
being eroded
roots of ancient mountains ranges that have been eroded and exposed (not covered by sedimentary rocks) on a continent are called
a continental shield
oceanic crust
continental mountains
a craton
another term for mountain building is
aristocracy
monogamy
phylogeny
orogeny
the present elevation of the appalachian mountains is due to
the break of pangaea
the formation of pangaea
uplift after the previous mountain building and subsequent erosion of the appalachians
a transform fault
roots of ancient mountains ranges that have been eroded and are now covered with sedimentary rocks (not completely exposed) are called
continental shields
oceanic crust
continental mountains
cratons
mountains that cover 1000s of kilometers and consist of many named groups of mountains are scientifically called
a mountain range
a mountain belt
lots of mountains
there is no scientific name for 1000s of kilometers of mountains
the large group pf mountains that are located in the western united states are the
appalachians
rockies
alps
