Speaking task

To consolidate information

in a text

• Explain the task and divide Ss into small groups and give them time to research online about mountain formation and collect more information. Ask them to draw diagrams that show how the types of mountains in the text are formed. Then ask various groups to present the three types of mountains to the class.

Alternatively, assign as HW and ask Ss to present the types of mountains in the next lesson.

Suggested Answer Key

Fold Mountains

Fold mountains form when two plates push against each other and the edges fold upwards. Where the rocks are folded upwards, they are called anticlines. Where the rocks are folded downwards, they are called synclines.

Severely folded and faulted rocks are called nappes.

Fault-Block Mountains

Fault-Block Mountains form when pressure pushes a fault line up. Often fault-block mountains have a steep front side and a sloping back side.

Dome Mountains

Dome mountains form when magma pushes the Earth's crust up without breaking it, forming a dome shape. The rock layers over the hardened magma are warped upward to form the dome, but the rock layers of the surrounding area remain flat.
