True or false deformation is the breaking tilting and folding of rock caused by liquefaction?
Wiki User

Liquefaction occurs due to seismic waves affecting the density and hence pore water pressure in (usually) coarse grained soils. It does not cause the breaking, tilting or folding of rocks.

How is folding different from tilting?
Folding happens when rock layers bend and buckle under pressure. Tilting happens when forces from inside Earth cause rock layers to become slanted.
