Which type of stress on Earth's crust can make a slab of rock shorter and thicker?

You hear about a magnitude 8.0 earthquake on the news. Someone says "That doesn't sound too bad. An 8.0 is just one more than the 7.0 we had here last year." Explain why that's not the right way to think about the moment magnitude scale.

What produces the "dub" sound heard through a stethoscope?

Question

How do mountains and valleys form through folding?

Solution

Verified

Mountains and valleys are formed when plates undergo compression. During this process, the plate shortens and thickens, which result in folding. However, a mountain is formed when the fold is bent upward. On the other hand, valleys are formed when the folds are bent downward.
