Fold mountains and how we did it
This is what we did
With different materials such as paper bread and cardboard. We used them as tectonic plates.We pushed them together and they rose up like mountains.
Fault block mountains
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
