Question

If one were to stack layers of thick fabric on top of one another and then push the opposite ends towards each other, resulting in bending and rumpling, this would illustrate what physical process?A) faulting B) shear C) folding D) tension E) subducting

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Folding.

Explanation:

In Geography, folding is a process whereby rock layers bend due to compressional forces.

Just as described in the question above, compressional forces mean that the two ends of the rock layers are being pushed inwards towards each other. The rock layer, just like the cloth layer described above, responds by bending or rumpling.

Hope this Helps!!!
