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

Answer:

A) folding

Explanation:

<em>Folding in rock also called a fault is a break or crack in the rock layer that is usually formed from an earthquake.</em> Any rock layer that the fault cuts or breaks would be older than the fault. Faults are younger than the layers that they break or cut out from.
