Relier Pairs The Relief formationVersion en ligne Activity for the Unit 1. 3rd of ESO (9th year) Geography par JUSTINA Castillo García 1 Movement of the eroded material. 2 Caused by the interaction of temperature, wind and water. 3 4 Rifts or cracks are formed in the ocean's crust when... 5 FAULTS occur when the crust is rigid and fractures. Some blocks sink while others rise and form mountains 6 The Earth's crust is made up of plates wich float on the top of the mantle and very slowly separate, slide against each other or collide 7 Slow changes in the relief that take place over an extended period of time in three phases 8 When a plate on the ocean's crust collides with the edge of a continental plate it is pushed down into the Earth's interior, where high temperatures melt the crust and turn it into magma. 9 10 SEDIMENTATION EROSION EXOGENOUS PROCESS EXOGENOUS PROCESSES the plates separate When two continental plates collide. They are called FOLDS The theory of plate tectonics Deposition of materials in another place TRANSPORTATION
