How is the fault younger than three rock layers?
The rock layers that a fault passes through had to have already existed for them to break and create a fault. This is analogous to the door panel of your car had to have already existed for it to bend and create a dent.
What is a bend in layers in rock?
A fold
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
A fault that occurs on folded rock layers is likely to be a thrust fault, where one block of rock is pushed up and over the other. This type of fault is common in areas where horizontal compression forces have folded the rock layers.
Are the Rock layers still continuous after a strike-slip fault?
Not necessarily. Rock layers along a strike-slip fault may be offset if they are dipping.
When rock layers break the resulting surface they break and slide on is a?
A Fault

What is a bend in layers in rock?

What happens to rock layers along a fault?
Along a fault, rock layers can become displaced, offset, or tilted. This is due to the movement of the Earth's crust along the fault line, resulting in different rock layers being shifted relative to each other.
Differences between a fault and a fold?
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.

Bend in rock layers created by pressure?
A bend in rock layers created by pressure is called folding. It refers to a ductile behavior in which planar or flat layers of rock bend in response to stress.
