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:
Volcanic Mountains
Block Mountains
Dome Mountains
Fold Mountains
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.
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.
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:
Intercontinental Plateau
Volcanic Plateau
Piedmont Plateau
Dissected Plateau
Plateau formed by layers of lava from volcanic eruptions.
Vast plateau spanning multiple countries or continents.
Plateau located at the base of a mountain range.
Plateau carved by rivers, creating valleys and hills.
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:
Rift Valleys
Glacial Valleys
River Valleys
Box Valleys
Valleys with steep walls and flat bottoms
Valleys form due to tectonic plate movement creating cracks in the Earth’s crust
U-shaped valleys formed by giant rivers of ice as they grind valley walls.
Valleys carved by water flow shaping deep valleys
Which characteristic of plains makes them particularly suitable for agriculture?
Match each type of plain with its corresponding description:
Coastal Plains
Flood Plains
Glacial 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:
Civilization Centers
Mineral Wealth
Water Sources
Agricultural Heartlands
Plains
Plateaus
Valleys
Mountains
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:
Mountain Formation
Orogeny
Beach Evolution
Plate Tectonics
Mountain Building
Shapes the planet topographies
Changes along shorelines overtime
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:
Mountains
Valleys
Plateaus
Plains
Cultural and economc importance
Civilizations started on near plains
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:
Hydroelectric Power
Minerals
Raw materials
Forest
Due to abundant water resources
Rich in minerals
Essential for industry
Rich in resources providing forests
