What is a landform that is formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together from opposite ends?
They are or were called "fold mountains" but I've not seen the term used much now because it's taken as read.
Essentially all mountains composed of sedimentary rocks above the continental basement (as I think you mean) are formed in this way, with the uplifting, folding and faulting being parts of the whole result.
The cause is the Continental Collision part of Plate Tectonics.

What kind of rock is pressed and squeezed together?
When land is sqeezed together it is because tectonic plate are moving and crashing into each other. When the plates ceash into each other they can create a mountain. But if they rubb up against each other they can create a earthquake.
A fold where both ends of the rock layer are horizontal?
A horizontal fold is known as a syncline. In a syncline, the youngest layers of rock are found in the center, while the oldest layers are exposed on the outer parts of the fold. This type of fold typically forms in compressional tectonic environments when rocks are squeezed together.
What is the meaning of compress?
Capable of being pressed together or forced into a narrower compass, as an elastic or spongy substance.
When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them what is it called?
pp
When pieces of ancient redwood become squeezed together it will form what kind of rock?
Petrified
Landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle?
folded mountains
What landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle?
folded mountains
What landform is formed when horizontal rock layers are sqeezed together and buckle?
Folded mountains are formed this way.

Particles are squeezed together during rarefactions.?
no
What places in a compressional wave in which coils are squeezed together is called?
The region in a compressional wave where coils are squeezed together is called the compression or condensation. This is where the particles are closest together, leading to an increase in pressure.

What is a type of stress where members are squeezed together?
it is compression
Particles are squeezed together during rarefractions?
false
A group of molecules squeezed together is called a?
A group of molecules squeezed together is called a solid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have fixed positions relative to each other.
What is the meaning of compress?
Capable of being pressed together or forced into a narrower compass, as an elastic or spongy substance.
What are rock fragments that are squeezed together?
Rock fragments that are squeezed together tightly form a sedimentary rock called breccia. Breccia is composed of angular fragments of rocks that are cemented together by a fine-grained matrix. It typically forms near fault zones or where there has been significant rockfall or landslides.
