A geological fold occurs when one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, are bent or curved as a result of permanent deformation. Synsedimentary folds are those due to slumping of sedimentary material before it is lithified. Folds in rocks vary in size from microscopic crinkles to mountain-sized folds. They occur singly as isolated folds and in extensive fold trains of different sizes, on a variety of scales.

Folds form under varied conditions of stress, hydrostatic pressure, pore pressure, and temperature gradient, as evidenced by their presence in soft sediments, the full spectrum of metamorphic rocks, and even as primary flow structures in some igneous rocks. A set of folds distributed on a regional scale constitutes a fold belt, a common feature of orogenic zones. Folds are commonly formed by shortening of existing layers, but may also be formed as a result of displacement on a non-planar fault (fault bend fold), at the tip of a propagating fault (fault propagation fold), by differential compaction or due to the effects of a high-level igneous intrusion e.g. above a laccolith.

Question 15 Part A This atmospheric component absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. O argon O nitrogen O ozone O
choli [55]

The correct answer is C. Ozone

Explanation:

Ozone is a type of gas formed by oxygen that can be found mainly in the stratosphere that is the layer found from around 8km to 60 km above the Earth's surface. Additionally, the ozone is the gas that absorbs ultraviolet radiation produced by the sun, also called UV radiation, this function of ozone is quite important because an excess in UV radiation causes burns in the living organism and leads to dagame in tissues. However, an excess of ozone can also lead to the greenhouse effect. According to this, it is ozone the component or gas that absorbs damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
