Question

as tectonic plates move toward one another, compression occurs, and rock layers may crumble and
other forces may later raise the entire mass of folded rock into when folding occurs,
rock layers in rock are no longer horizontal. if they fold pointing like the top of a hill, an
results. when the folds point like in a valley, it is a fold mountains are
long belts of highly and broken rocks that result from the appalachian mountains are
to an example of fold mountains.

Explanation:

• When tectonic plates move towards each other, compression causes rock layers to crumble and fold.
• Folded rock can be raised into mountains.
• In sedimentary rock, folding changes layer orientation.
• An anticline forms when folds point up (like a hilltop).
• A syncline forms when folds point down (like a valley).
• Fold mountains are long belts of highly bent and broken rocks from compression.

Answer:

1. fold
2. mountains
3. sedimentary
4. up
5. anticline
6. down
7. syncline
8. bent
9. compression
