What is a fold in the earths crust?
A fold is a bend in a rock layer. Some folds are a few centimeters wide and others cover several kilometers. Sometimes the rock folds enough to turn completely over, and these places are called overturn, or recumbent, folds. Some folding rock layers break from the forces within the crust of the earth and these places are called faults. Folds where the rocks have been pushed upward but not turned upside down are called anticlines and the depressions between the anticlines are called synclines.
What is anticlines in an earthquake?
Anticlines form an 'A' shape in rocks. They are folds where the apex points up, toward the sky. Generally, they fold where the oldest rocks form the core of the fold.
Three types of deformation resulting from subjecting rock to stress?
folds-bending of the rocks without breaking faults-fracture of rocks with displacement joints-fracture of rocks wihtout displacement joints affect the resistance of rocks and making it subscitible to weathering
