Study Notes
Mountains
- Formation: Mountains are formed through the process of plate tectonics, where the Earth's lithosphere is pushed upwards by the movement of tectonic plates.
-
Types:
- Fold mountains: formed when two plates collide and the Earth's crust is folded.
- Block mountains: formed when a plate is pushed upwards by the movement of a fault.
- Volcanic mountains: formed by the accumulation of lava and volcanic debris.
-
Characteristics:
- High elevation
- Steep slopes
- Snow-capped peaks
- Glaciers
- Diverse ecosystems
-
Examples:
- The Himalayas
- The Rocky Mountains
- The Andes
Volcanoes
- Formation: Volcanoes are formed when magma from the Earth's interior rises to the surface, resulting in eruptions of molten rock, ash, and gas.
-
Types:
- Shield volcanoes: gently sloping volcanoes with a broad base.
- Stratovolcanoes: tall, conical volcanoes with a steep slope.
- Cinder cones: small, steep-sided volcanoes formed from accumulated ash and cinder.
-
Characteristics:
- Vent or crater at the summit
- Eruptions of lava, ash, and gas
- Volcanic rocks and minerals
- Landforms such as calderas and lava flows
-
Examples:
- Mount St. Helens
- Mount Fuji
- Mauna Loa
