plateau
These layers of sedimentary rock were once horizontal. Then crustal movement folded and tilted them.
Sedimentary rocks, when exposed on the surface, is exposed to weathering.
Sedimentary. They cover 2/3 of the earth's surface.
which surface feature was made by a destructive process
No. The description in the question refers to sedimentary rock. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
Horizontal sedimentary rock layers.
These layers of sedimentary rock were once horizontal. Then crustal movement folded and tilted them.
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposit of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. The horizontal layering happens because it has forms with the passing of time over thousands if not millions of years.

Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. Sedimentary is produced by river sediments compacted into hard rock by years of pressure. Igneous rock is formed by lava cooling down when it reaches the surface. Metamorphic rock comes from Igneous, Sedimentary, or other Metamorphic rocks and is defined as rock that has been changed from some other rock, called a protolith, by years of heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface.
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary. Basalt is the most common type of rock and it is igneous.
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary.
Sedimentary rocks, when exposed on the surface, is exposed to weathering.
It is polarized at 90 degrees to the plane of incidence. If the surface is horizontal, the plane of incidence is vertical & the polarization would be horizontal.
Perpendicular
Sedimentary. They cover 2/3 of the earth's surface.
