What results from tension between rock layers?
When rock layers bend and buckle it creates mountains. For example, the Rocky Mountains in the west are millions of years younger than the Appalachian Mountains in the east forming from two separate incidents of buckling.
Layers of rock that bend can produce a downward fold known as what?
...known as syncline
What is a geological column?
An ideal sequence of rock layers that contains all the known fossils and rock.
When rock layers bend due to stress?
"Folding" is the term that describes the bending of rock layers due to stress.There are different types of Folds and these include:Anticlinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have an upward-arching folds.Synclinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have a downward, trough-like folds.Monoclinal Folds: This is when both rock layers ends are horizontal.
What are layers of rock?
When dirt gets into layers and then it hardens and becomes hard like a rock.
Gaps in rock layers that develop when agents of erosion remove existing rock layers?
Gaps in rock layers that develop when agents of erosion remove existing rock layers are known as unconformities.
What are missing rock layers known as?
Unconformities. =)

What is tilting in science terms?
Tilting is the process of rock layers bending and buckling from earth's interior layers, or simplified, tilting is when rocks change shape and bend from the inside of earth's layers. :) hope this helps, I actually have a science test on this so its a good thing I came across this

An vertical intrusion of magma in a pre-existing rock formation is known as a dike.
