Which geological process is primarily responsible for the formation of fold mountains?
Block mountains are formed primarily due to volcanic activity.
Match each mountain type with its formation process:
Fold Mountains
Volcanic Mountains
Dome Mountains
Block Mountains
Built up from molten rock, ash, and gas erupting from a vent.
Formed when magma pushes up without breaking the surface, lifting the rock above.
Created when large blocks of land move up or down along faults.
Formed by tectonic plates pushing against each other, causing the land to buckle.
Which of the following is NOT a significant economic contribution of mountains?
The tallest mountain in the solar system is Mount Everest.
Match the following plateau types with their defining characteristic:
Dissected Plateau
Intercontinental Plateau
Volcanic Plateau
Piedmont Plateau
Vast plateau spanning multiple countries or continents.
Plateau carved by rivers, creating valleys and hills.
Plateau formed by layers of lava from volcanic eruptions.
Plateau located at the base of a mountain range.
Which geological process primarily forms U-shaped valleys?
River valleys typically have a U-shape due to the uniform erosion by water.
Match the names of each valley with their description:
Glacial Valleys
Box Valleys
River Valleys
Rift Valleys
U-shaped valleys formed by giant rivers of ice as they grind valley walls.
Valleys carved by water flow shaping deep valleys
Valleys with steep walls and flat bottoms
Valleys form due to tectonic plate movement creating cracks in the Earth’s crust
Which characteristic of plains makes them particularly suitable for agriculture?
Match each type of plain with its corresponding description:
Glacial Plains
Flood Plains
Coastal Plains
Interior Plains
Plains alongside coastlines, formed by sediment accumulation.
Plains that develop around rivers prone to frequent flooding.
Plains formed by glaciers traversing and leveling the land.
Plains found inland, characterized by minimal undulation.
Which landform is known for acting as a barrier to wind and precipitation, influencing climate regions?
Plateaus are typically poor sources of minerals and raw materials due to their elevation.
Match each the key role in earth geography with their corresponding landform:
Agricultural Heartlands
Civilization Centers
Mineral Wealth
Water Sources
Plains
Plateaus
Mountains
Valleys
The Grand Tetons are an example of which type of mountain range?
Lacustrine plains are created by volcanic activity that levels the landscape over time.
Match all the processes to their descriptions:
Beach Evolution
Mountain Formation
Plate Tectonics
Orogeny
Mountain Building
Changes along shorelines overtime
Shapes the planet topographies
Involves collision of plates
How much of the planet's freshwater do mountains provide?
Mountain ecosystems are generally resilient and unaffected by climate change.
Match the civilization hubs with their geographic properties:
Plains
Valleys
Plateaus
Mountains
Civilizations started on near plains
Cultural and economc importance
Tourism and recreation
Valleys are economic and population hubs
Why have valleys, especially river valleys, historically hosted major civilizations?
Plains are mostly unsuitable for human settlement due to their lack of natural resources and extreme weather conditions.
Match each resources to their corresponding description:
Minerals
Forest
Raw materials
Hydroelectric Power
Due to abundant water resources
Rich in minerals
Rich in resources providing forests
Essential for industry
