Answer:

Folding

Explanation:

Already formed rocks develop folding as a result of stress and strain. This causes the rock to fracture and bend into folds.

A fold is when there is a bend in the rock as a result of compressional forces.

Therefore since folds are formed from existing rock, they are younger than the rocks in which they form.

There are 3 types of folds namely: autoclines, synclines, and moniclines

Elden [556K]

During a volcanic eruption, the geosphere always interacts with the atmosphere, and that is the case with Mount Saint Helen's as well. During the eruption, the volcano which is part of the geosphere, releases lot of gases, ash, debris into the atmosphere. As they are propelled into the atmosphere, these volcanic products became part of the atmosphere, thus affecting its composition and properties, giving us a nice and simple example of interaction between the two spheres.
