Fold block mountains are when the earths crust cracks into large pieces of rocks which makes some rocks go up while others go down to make the mountain.

Fault block mountains and what we did

We used cocoa pop bars snapped and them into little pieces and little bits fell of just like in the description

Dome mountains

These mountains are very similar to volcanic mountains. Lava from underneath which pushes up to make a dome shape at the top.

Dome mountains and what we did

We used tissue paper and a balloon. We blew up the balloon underneath the tissue paper. The balloon was supposed to be the lava and it resembled how a dome mountain was made

Volcanic mountains

Volcanic mountain are like dome mountains they only erupt. The magma comes up and it explodes. When it dries up it becomes solid. It will keep on erupting and as it dries up over time it will make another volcano.

Volcanic mountains and how we made it.

We used red paint as lava and tinfoil as the volcano. We put the paint bag under the tinfoil and squeezed it. The paint started to come out of the whole in the tinfoil like a volcano erupting.
