When rock layers break the resulting surface they break and slide on is a?
A Fault
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.
How is the fault younger than three rock layers?
The rock layers that a fault passes through had to have already existed for them to break and create a fault. This is analogous to the door panel of your car had to have already existed for it to bend and create a dent.
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
