Matching Pairs The Relief formationOnline version Activity for the Unit 1. 3rd of ESO (9th year) Geography by JUSTINA Castillo García 1 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. 2 SEDIMENTATION 3 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 4 FAULTS occur when the crust is rigid and fractures. Some blocks sink while others rise and form mountains 5 Movement of the eroded material. 6 Slow changes in the relief that take place over an extended period of time in three phases 7 Rifts or cracks are formed in the ocean's crust when... 8 9 10 Caused by the interaction of temperature, wind and water. EXOGENOUS PROCESS Deposition of materials in another place When two continental plates collide. They are called FOLDS TRANSPORTATION EXOGENOUS PROCESSES EROSION the plates separate The theory of plate tectonics
