Home›Structural and Tectonic Formations›Domes and Uplifts›All Domes and UpliftsBrowse ByAll Domes 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.FactsAll Domes and UpliftsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonDefining ProcessWell-attestedA circular part of the surface pushed upward, tilting pre-existing layers away from the center. 1All Domes 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 FormationsAlpamayoStructural and Tectonic FormationsAnticlineStructural and Tectonic FormationsAusangateStructural and Tectonic FormationsBalearic IslandsStructural and Tectonic FormationsBatura SarStructural and Tectonic FormationsChogolisaStructural and Tectonic FormationsFish River CanyonStructural and Tectonic FormationsGamburtsev MountainsStructural and Tectonic FormationsGasherbrum IIIStructural and Tectonic FormationsHoga KustenStructural and Tectonic FormationsHuangshanStructural and Tectonic FormationsHuascaranStructural and Tectonic FormationsIllampuStructural and Tectonic FormationsKhan TengriStructural and Tectonic FormationsKongur TaghStructural and Tectonic FormationsMasherbrumStructural and Tectonic FormationsMeteoraStructural and Tectonic FormationsMitre PeakStructural and Tectonic FormationsMuztagh AtaStructural and Tectonic FormationsPeak KorzhenevskayaStructural and Tectonic FormationsPeak LeninStructural and Tectonic FormationsRichat StructureStructural and Tectonic FormationsSan Rafael SwellStructural and Tectonic FormationsSynclineStructural and Tectonic FormationsSources1.
