Why are sediments usually found in layers?
because they are sedimentary rock
What are the layers found in sedimentary rocks called?
The layers in sedimentary rocks are called strata.
What rock formed in layers?
sedimentary rock
What is the layer of sediment called?
It is called sedimentation.
What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
Folded sedimentary rock layers are usually caused by?
crustal movement occurring after deposition
What caused these sedimentary materials to form in layers?
erosion
The surface feature that is produced when horizontal layers of sedimentary rock rise without being folded is a?
plateau
Why are sediments usually found in layers?
because they are sedimentary rock
What rocks are usually found with layers?
Sedimentary rock. It forms when layers of sediment pile up.
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.
In science terms what is folding?
Folding is when formerly flat sedimentary layers of rock are uplifted and literally tilted and folded in the mountain building process.
What is the cause of folded sedimentary rock layers?
Pressure from the sediments above compact the sediments down creating a rock. A fold would be the result of oh say allot of pressure. Sedimentary rocks a generally layered strait across so if it's folded it may be metamorphic. They form when igneous or sedimentary rocks are but under immense heat and pressure.
What do you call the layers in sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock layers. your welcome
What are the layers found in sedimentary rocks called?
The layers in sedimentary rocks are called strata.
What land form do folded rock layers create?
Folded rock layers create monoclines, synclines and anticlines.
What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
