Home›Structural and Tectonic Formations›Domes and UpliftsGroupDomes and UpliftsThis group collects the Structural and Tectonic Formations subcategory's members that are structural domes, uplifted terrains and related fold features: broad upward warps of the crust, anticlines and monoclines, and regionally uplifted erosion surfaces such as ancient peneplains later raised by tectonic activity. These features record vertical crustal movement rather than the lateral or extensional motion that defines the subcategory's fault and rift groups.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining ProcessWell-attestedA circular part of the surface pushed upward, tilting pre-existing layers away from the center. 1Browse ByAll Domes and UpliftsDomes and Uplifts25 entriesDomes and UpliftsFilter Results25 entriesFormation FamilyAllDomes and Uplifts (25)Formation TypeAllDomes and Uplifts (25)WhereAllAntarctica (1)Argentina (1)Bolivia (1)China (5)Greece (1)Kazakhstan (1)Kyrgyzstan (2)Mauritania (1)Namibia (1)Pakistan (5)Peru (3)Spain (1)Sweden (1)Tajikistan (2)United States (1)Formed By (Process)AllFaulting (1)Folding (2)Orogeny (17)Post-Glacial Rebound (1)Weathering (1)Rock TypeAllLimestone (1)Sandstone (1)Protected StatusAllInternational Treaty Protected Area (1)IUGS Geological Heritage Site (1)Locally or Regionally Protected (2)National Monument or Landmark (1)National Park or Reserve (3)UNESCO World Heritage Site (5)Visitor AccessAllOpen (2)DisciplineAllGeomorphology (21)Oceanography (1)Structural Geology (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 25AconcaguaStructural and Tectonic Formations4 linksAlpamayoStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksAnticlineStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksAusangateStructural and Tectonic Formations5 linksBalearic IslandsStructural and Tectonic Formations1 linkBatura SarStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksChogolisaStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksFish River CanyonStructural and Tectonic Formations5 linksGamburtsev MountainsStructural and Tectonic Formations3 linksGasherbrum IIIStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksHoga KustenStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksHuangshanStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksHuascaranStructural and Tectonic Formations4 linksIllampuStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksKhan TengriStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksKongur TaghStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksMasherbrumStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksMeteoraStructural and Tectonic Formations6 linksMitre PeakStructural and Tectonic Formations1 linkMuztagh AtaStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksPeak KorzhenevskayaStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksPeak LeninStructural and Tectonic FormationsRichat StructureStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksSan Rafael SwellStructural and Tectonic Formations8 linksSynclineStructural and Tectonic Formations2 linksSources1.
