Question

Folded rock layers generally form from

A) Divergence of tectonic plates at mid-ocean ridges
B) Tectonic plates sliding past each other
C) Compression of tectonic plates at convergent boundaries
D) Huge underwater earthquakes

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! When two plates act upon each other their layers fold upon of one another. The compression causes folding due to the pressure exerted on each other. The rocks fracture and these fractures tend to make the layers give way and fold.
