Key Questions
What happens to rocks when they are placed under the large forces created by plate movements?

Types of Stress (page 163)
Key Concept:
Tension, compression, and shearing work over millions
of years to change the shape and volume of rock.
![Page 4: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
You should be able to…
Explain how stress in the crust changes the earth’s surface.
Describe where faults are usually found and why they form.
![Page 5: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
When Earth’s plates move, rocks are pushed and pulled.
The pushing and pulling forces cause:
stress.
![Page 6: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stress adds energy to rocks. Rocks keep storing the energy
until they cannot stand any more stress. Then the rocks break or
change shape.
![Page 7: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tension is stress that pulls and stretches rocks. Tension makes rocks thinner in the
middle. Tension happens when two plates move apart.
![Page 8: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Compression is stress that squeezes rocks. Compression
makes rocks fold or break. Compression happens when
two plates push together.
![Page 9: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Shearing is stress that pushes rocks in opposite directions.
Shearing makes rocks break, slip apart, or change shape. Shearing happens when two plates slip past each other in opposite directions.

Kinds of Faults
(pages 164–165)
![Page 16: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Key Concept:
Most faults occur along plate boundaries, where
the forces of plate motion push or pull the crust so
much that the crust breaks.
![Page 17: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Students will be able to…
Describe where faults are usually found and why they form.
![Page 18: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
There are three main types of faults:
normal faults
reverse faults
strike-slip faults
![Page 19: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A fault is a break in Earth’s crust where rocks are under
stress.
![Page 20: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In many faults, the fault line is slanted. So the block of rock on one side of the fault is above the block
of rock on the other side of the fault.
![Page 21: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The top block is called the hanging wall. The bottom block is called the footwall.
![Page 22: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
There are three different types of faults:
normal faults reverse faults
strike-slip faults
Each type is caused by a different kind of stress on rocks.
![Page 23: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A normal fault happens when tension pulls rocks apart. In a normal fault, the hanging wall slips down and
becomes lower than the footwall.
![Page 24: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A reverse fault happens when compression pushes rocks together.
In a reverse fault, the hanging wall slides up and becomes higher than
the footwall.
![Page 25: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A strike-slip fault happens when shearing pushes rocks in opposite directions. In a strike-slip fault, two
blocks of rock move past each other, but neither block moves up or down.
![Page 26: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Circle the letter of the choice that explains what causes a
fault.
a. Stress increases on rocks until they move.b. Energy slowly drains away from rocks.c. Rocks heat up and melt.

Changing Earth’s Surface (pages 166–
168)
![Page 31: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Key Concept:
Over millions of years, the forces of plate movement
can change a flat plain into landforms such as anticlines
and synclines, folded mountains, fault-block
mountains, and plateaus.
![Page 32: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Students will be able to…
Identify the land features that result from plate movement.
![Page 33: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Stresses in Earth’s crust cause the surface to change.
Different stresses cause different changes.
![Page 34: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Compression causes folding. Folding is like a rug getting
wrinkled up when it is pushed across the floor.
![Page 35: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Folds that bend upward into ridges are called anticlines.
Folds that bend downward into valleys are called synclines.
![Page 36: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Tension causes stretching. When crust stretches, many
normal faults form.
![Page 37: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sometimes a block of rock moves upward between two
normal faults. The block forms a mountain called a fault-
block mountain.
![Page 38: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Stresses in the crust can also form plateaus. A plateau is a large area of flat land that has been lifted up above sea level.
![Page 39: Forces in Earth’s Crust (pages 162–168)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081722/568164da550346895dd72b3e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
