mountains can be found.
New Zealand
Appalachians
Section 11.3
While You Read
Complete the graphic organizer below by
noting the process by which each type
of mountain is created and listing one or
more examples of each.
1. Folded mountains: Two continental
plates move toward each other; the
plates collide and subduction stops;
rocks at the edges of the plates crumple
up into folded mountains; Appalachians,
Alps, northern Rocky mountains, Urals,
Himalayas
2. Volcanic mountains: Volcanic activity
tends to form mountains; Examples: the
Cascades, some Himalayan mountains.
3. Dome mountains: Uplifting forces or
igneous intrusions push rock layers up
into a dome; examples: Mountains on
the border of the Colorado Plateau or
the Rocky mountains.
4. Fault-block mountains: tension due to
uplifting forces stretches the Earth’s
crust, and faults from along the surface;
blocks of crust are thrust upward;
examples: Sierra Nevada, Wasatch
Range, Teton Range.

Section 11.3
After You Read
Review this section for examples of
changes in the Earth’s surface that are
ongoing. List three examples.
The Indian plate is pushing into the
Eurasian plate; in some parts of the
western United States, the crust is
being uplifted; in the Great Rift Valley,
rising magma is forcing the crust
upward.
