As we discovered in the Grand Canyon, one of the most easily observable sedimentary structures isbedding or layering. However, n

ot all regions have experienced the spectacular erosion that the Grand Canyon has. In mountainous areas, plate tectonic convergence has exposed various sedimentary layers by tilting, folding, and/or faulting them. Resistant rocks still erode to form cliffs, and less resistant rocks still form low slopes or valleys. Folding and faulting can repeat the same sedimentary layers multiple times, creating a series of repeating ridges and valleys.
