What are folded rocks?
When sedimentary rocks are first laid down their layers (bedding) are tangential to the earths surface (essentially they look flat). They remain like this unless two of the earths continental plates on which the flat bedded rocks are deposited crash together. When they crash together, the layers are squashed horizontally and become deformed as a result. Frequently this deformation causes the layers to fold (like scrunching paper) to accommodate and the result is folded rocks.
How did you get mountains?
the earths plate crust and then it collides so that a mountain comes up, which is made of folded rocks
The surface feature that is produced when horizontal layers of sedimentary rock rise without being folded is a?
plateau
How are folded mountains different from dome mountains?
folded mountains are folded
How does Wegener's hypothesis explain why earth's surface must be moving?
These layers of sedimentary rock were once horizontal. Then crustal movement folded and tilted them.
When was Folded Man created?
Folded Man was created in 1999.
When was With Folded Hands created?
With Folded Hands was created in 1947.
Why do some earthquakes happen in the earths mantle?
because of the folded deformation
When was The Man Who Folded Himself created?
The Man Who Folded Himself was created in 1973.
When was The Folded Palm created?
The Folded Palm was created on 2004-09-14.
Why do few earthquake happen in earths mantle?
Few earthquakes happen in the earths mantle do to the fact that the mantle has a folded deformation. This means that the amount of pressure on the mantle caused it to deform.
Why are cristae highly folded?
To provide a larger surface area.
What is the purpose of the folded layers of membrane?
To increase the surface area.
How did Earth's surface become wrinkled cracked and folded?
The sun

Why is it important that an intestine cell has a folded surface?
Because it increases the surface area available for transfer of materials.
How does the folded membrane absorb the maximum amount of food needed?
A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.
