Johnny:

1.Rock bends and folds without breaking – (crustal) deformation
2.Stress that squeezes rocks what is it called – compression
3.The uplift or subsidence of the crust due to changes in weight – isostasy
4.Rocks break, crack and fracture – faulting?
5.Stress that pushes rocks in opposite directions – extension
6.this is the only type of fold that is not symetrical – monocline?
7.found at transform fault boundaries – earthquakes (found at all boundaries)
8.found at convergent boundaries – subduction
9.this is another name for reverse fault – normal fault
10. type of mountain formed when magma erupts to the earths surface. – volcano
11.type of MT. found where continents collide – Himalayas
12.amount of force per unit area that is placed on a given area – pressure
13.when glaciers grow the crust will……….. – sink
14. what is the name of the fault block mt found in california. – Sierra Nevadas
15.found at divergent boundaries – new crust?
16. a ___________ is shaped like a bowl? – syncline? trough?
18. when glaciers melt crust will…. – rise
19. Mt system found around the Pacific ocean – Island Arc?
20. tension will make rock this – no idea
21. type of circular mt created when magma erupts to the earths surface. – volcano?
25. narrow valley? – graben?

check your book for the one with the question marks, those are just my best guesses
