  1. Mountains!!! And all their brilliance… • Cover 1/5 earth’s surface • Found on EVERY continent and in all oceans • Formed by: • -the constant but very slow movement of the • Earth’s plates . • -Travel 1 to 4 inches per year. • - Plates collide = crust folds into high mountainous ranges. • Five ways that mountains are formed : • Volcanic Activity • Folding 4. Erosion • Faulting 5. Dome building

  2. Mountains!!! And all their brilliance… • = Involves the extrusion(forcing out) of rock tends • (lava) to form mountains or features like • mountains over large amount of time. • Examples = A 680 mile long fault running 50 miles off the • west- coast of the USA, from the Pacific Northwest off • Northern California to Vancouver Islands & • British Columbia. • Faulting, Folding & Dome Building • Folding = Earth’s plates are pushed together in a roller-coaster like series of • high points and low points. Bends many layers of rocks without • breaking them. • Examples = Appalachian Mts. & Rocky Mts. • Faulting = The earth’s crust move vertically upward at fault lines by • pressures caused plates colliding . Fault lines are • great cracks in the crust. • Examples = Sierra Nevada Mts. In California & Nevada/grand • Teton range in Wyoming . Volcanic Activity

  3. Mountains!!! And all their brilliance… • Dome Building = Low Mountains that were formed when the crust was • heaved upward without folding or faulting into a • round dome. The mountains are much higher in • elevation than the surrounding land and because of • this erosion occurs at a very fast rate. • Examples = Black Hills of South Dakota & Wyoming & Adirondack • Mts. of New York State. • Erosion = the gradual destruction of something, eroding by wind, water, • or natural agents. • Weathering & Erosion • Example = Our very own Old Man of the Mountain!!!

  4. Mountains!!! And all their brilliance… Mrs. J & her best friend in 7th grade on their first hiking trip! I can not believe my future 6th grade students will see this embarrassing picture of me! Hiking kills the hair do!

  9. Everest • Nepal, China • Highest in the world Mountains!!! • Pakistan • 2nd Highest in the world • K2 And all their brilliance… • Alaska, U.S.A. • Highest in the U.S.A. • Old Man of the Mt • New Hampshire Landmark • Not very high anymore • McKinley

  10. Mountain • Hills • Mountain Ranges • Plain • A landform with high elevation and a pointed or round top; higher than a hill • A broad and flat or gently rolling area usually low in elevation. • Raised parts of the earth’s surface, with sloping sides; smaller than mountains. • A row of connected mountains. Mountains!!! And all their brilliance… Mountain Vocabulary • Plateau • A broad and flat or gently rolling area high above sea level.

  11. Mountains!!! And all their brilliance… High Mountains Highest Part And Higher Higher Up Foothills
