Mountain Orogeny

Mountain Orogeny. Three types of plate boundary. ORIGIN OF MOUNTAINS. Orogeny = process of mountain building, takes tens of millions of years; usually produces long linear structures, known as orogenic belts. Two main processes: 1) Deformation : continental collisions, resulting in

Forces Inside Earth (43)

Forces Inside Earth (43). Once the elastic limit is passed, the rocks may break When rocks break, they move along surfaces called faults To relieve this stress, the rocks tend to bend, compress, or stretch. If the force is great enough, the rocks will break.
