Transcript
Upwarped Mountains
How they are formed:
- action of rising magma or heat.
- This pressure gently uplifts a broad area of the crust, sometimes in the shape of a dome.
- softer material on top may also be eroded or worn away by rivers or other flowing water.
- The erosion leaves sharp peaks and ridges
- great vertical displacement along a highangle fault.
Fun Facts!
- Upwarped mountains are more rounded and show some features such as exfoliation.
Upwarped mountains are also called domed mountains because, erosion over time warpes them into the shape of a dome.
Examples of Upwarped Mountains in the U.S.
Adirondack Mountains in northeast New York
Black Hills in western South Dakota and northeast Wyoming
