Rift Valleys form when the block of land between two normal faults slides downward.
Recall the two types of folds and the factors that would cause a rock to fold rather than fault. (Mr. Purnell did the COOL glass bending demo!) Consult your notes. Be sure to know how to draw the two types of folds.
In what ways did Plateaus and Domes differ IN FORMATION? Consult your notes.
