The boundary between the two plates is the transform fault. As the fracture extends along the fault, blocks of rock on one side of the fault may drop down below the rock on the other side of the fault. Stresses in the earth cause large blocks of rock along a fault to strain. We hope to come back to Ork soon where we can't be clobbered by an earthquake. Your Messengers, ET Alexa and ET Stephanie A Report to the Fearless Leader About Mountains Dear Fearless Leader, I have researched on mountains.
Mountains are tall, really big piles of rock.
Most of them are located near the edges of continents. There are many different kinds of mountains in the earth. For instance, the Appalachian Mountains are kinds of fold mountains. These are formed when two plates meet head-on and their edges crumble just like a table cloth. The Black Hills of South Dakota and Adirondack Mountains in New York are dome mountains.
