How do you make a plateau?
A plateau forms when there is an erosion-resistant layer of rock (such as basalt or sandstone) over weaker layers.In places where the resistant rock layer is still intact, the weaker layers below will be protected from erosion, while the stronger layer forms a relatively flat topography.
What type of rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone?
A metamorphic rock is most likely to form in an earthquake zone.
Which layer of rock would be most under pressure?
The deeper layer.
What is solid rock that makes earths most outer layer?
rock
Which layer of rock would be expected to have living animals and plants most like those today?
Pleistocene rock layer
Which foundation material is most stable during earthquake shaking?
Hard rock masses are the most stable founding materials during an earthquake.
Which layer of rock would be expected to have had living animals and plants most like those of today?
The top layer. The top layer of any sedimentary rock is most likely the newest in geologic time.

What are the types of stress?
Stress, in geology, is pressure and can result in an earthquake should the stress in a rock layer suddenly slip when the rock fractures and there is a sudden movement between the two surfaces.
What rock layer will be under the most pressure?
The answer is magma.
What is the rock that is most resistant to weathering is?
It is generally considered to be granite, which will stand centuries of weathering.
What is the most abundant extrusive rock exposed layer upon layer at the Grand Candyon?
basalt
