What is it called when a rock bends instead of breaking due to plate movement?
Folding
What are four examples of rock disturbances?
the four types of rock disturbances are fault, folding, intrusion, and tilting
What is the bending tilting and breaking of the crust of the earth the change in the shape of rock in response to stress called?
Deformation
True or false deformation is the breaking tilting and folding of rock caused by liquefaction?
Liquefaction occurs due to seismic waves affecting the density and hence pore water pressure in (usually) coarse grained soils. It does not cause the breaking, tilting or folding of rocks.
When earth's force slants rock layers it is called?
tilting
What is the breaking tilting and folding of rock?
deformation
How is folding different from tilting?
Folding happens when rock layers bend and buckle under pressure. Tilting happens when forces from inside Earth cause rock layers to become slanted.
What can disturb rock layers?
the four rock layer disturbances are: tilting, intrusion, faults, and folding

What are manifestations of stress in rocks?
cracks == In addition to cracks: faulting, metamorphism to new rock types, earthquakes, tilting, and folding.
What are the four ways rock layers can become disturbed?
4 ways are folding, tilting, intrusions, and faults. Hope this helped :)
What produces anticlines and synclines?
Tilting and folding of rock layers due sinking, uplifting, stretching, or compression of the crust usually from plate movement.
When earth's force slants rock layers it is called?
tilting
List two events that can disturb rock-layer sequence?
Erosion of exposed strata with subsequent sedimentation and stratification and folding of strata from horizontal forces or tilting.
