Question

How do folds form?

Folds are created when sedimentary layers are compressed.
Folds are created when two plate tectonics collide.
Folds are only created during earthquakes.
Folds are only created during a volcanic eruption

Answer 1

A. folds are created when sedimentary layers are compressed

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Folds are created when sedimentary layers are compressed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Folds can be formed when sedimentary rocks are compressed usually by compressive stress.

• A fold is a wave like structure found in rocks or a landscape.
• When rock body is subjected to compressive stress folds will likely occur.

Folds are not necessarily created when two plate collide. Their might not be enough compressive stress to allow for the formation of a fold.

Also, folds are not created by earthquakes because it is a brittle deformation.

Fold are not created during volcanic eruption.
