MOUNTAIN BUILDING PROCESSES

P. F. Chan

Plate tectonics provides the basic explanation for the formation of

mountains: DA the earth's surface. Three mountain building processes can

be identified as a result of the movement of plates.

A. Folding

4. Folding is the result:

compressional

Both limbs are symmetrical.

Anticline

(11) Syreline

- downfold

b) Asymmetrical fold

The axial plane is no longer

vertical and one limo is steeper

than the other!

(c) Overfold.

One limb has pushed over the other limb.

(d) Recumbent fold

One limb rests on the adjacent one and the two limbs are almost *parallel..

(e) averthrust

fold (nappe) the

rocks fracture, and one limb is thrust forward anto the other 1imb.

3. fold mountains..

Mountains which are made.. of folded rocks.

(a) The formation of fold mountain Sediments were deposited in vast depression or geosynclines As déposition continued, sediments were increased in weights and hardness, was turned- into sedimentary rock. The weight of the deposited material lead to

the slow sinking of the geosyncling. After millions of years, the sinking of the geosyncline. More together and these compressional forces caused the sedimentary layers to fold into high mountains..

(b) Types of fold mountains

B. Faulting

Alpine fold mountains) They were formed abount 35 million. years ago, therefore they are very high and very rugged. Instability, vulcanicity and frequent earthquakes occured in these zones. e.g. the Andes (South

America)

the Himalayas (India). the Rockies (North America):

1. A fault is a break in rock due to either. tensional or compressional movettents of the plates, long, which there has been

2. Types of faylt

(a) Normal fault

C. Vulcanicity

vulcanicity is the process by which magma is furced into the crust" ejected neto the surface.

It is caused by tensional forces- and that one block slides down" relative to the other.

(b) Reverse fault

It is caused by compressional. forces and that one block is pushed up relative to the other. (c) Tear fault

It is produced by lateral ovement and that two blocks along a fault move horizontally in opposite directions.

3. (a) Block faulting

Earth movements may cause the crust to be divided into blocks. by a series of fault lines, i.e. several faults: fairly parallel to one another,

A norst is formed by tensional Force. The central block is left upstanding by either one of the following:

(iii) Rift Valley (Graben)

A rift valley is a long deep depression, it may be formed by either one of the following:

Demand

1. The degree of necessity of the commodity

Increase in necessity - mora inelastic.

2. The possibility of substitution of the commodity

Increase in substitutability - more elastic

Individual Supply Curve

1. Suppliers are rational:

Producers respond. to change in price of a good.

{11) They tend to produce more when price o

a good goes up.

(III) They tend to produce less when price"

a good goes down.

(IV) They have a plan of production. Ceters Paribus, .e other things being constant

i. Sased on a supply schedule showing quantity

supplied at each different price, a supply curve can be drawn

3. Price of the commodity

At very high price more elastic

4. Durability of the good

Higliar durability more elastic

5. The proportion of income spent on the good

Higher proportion more elastic

Owing to changes in price, the quantity supplied by each producer, the market as well, will change accordingly.

It is just a description of the law of supply and. representing the movement along the supply curve only, other things being constant.

1. Increase in Price:

Price increased from Po

to P

Quantity supplied increased

From Qo, to 01.

Decrease in Price

Price-decreased from Pj

to Po

Quantity supplied decreased from 01 to 00

Care must be taken not to mix up changes in quantity supplied with changes in supply which means the deviation from the "ceteris paribus" assumption in the law of supply. It is represented by shifting the supply curve out of its original position.
