Tension or Compression??

• Convergent plates
• Subduction zones
• Rift Valleys
• Mountains by folding
• Mountains due to normal fault
• Sea Floor Spreading
• Mountains due to reverse fault.

Tension or Compression??

• Mountains by subduction (2 cont. plates)
• Ridge zones, particularly ocean plates
• Divergent plates
• Fault Block Mountains
• Mountains due to overthrust fault
• Trenches due to subduction

Identify whether it is physical or chemical
weathering, THEN the specific type of weathering..

• Freezing temperatures and moisture?
• Variation/fluctuations in H/C temperatures?
• CO2 and SO2 in the humid air?
• Presence of vegetation?
• O2, Moisture and metallic minerals?
