Explain that folding faulting and uplifting can rearrange the rock layers so the youngest is not always found on top?
Whenfolding, faulting, and uplifting occurs, the youngest rock layer can not always be on top. With folding the oldest rock layer could get folded over on top of a younger layer. When faulting occurs a younger rock layer can become "lower" or pushed more down in the rock layers that was originally shown. When these things happen, then rock layers can become out of order and the youngest layer is not always on the top of the layer.

The most common way for mountains to form is when a two plates come together b folding occurs during plate collisions c two continents collide d volcanoes erupt?
A
The force that occurs when plates are pushed together?
Plate tectonics
Describe what occurs at a destructive boundary. Explain what folding is and give an example of a mountain region formed by folding.?
At a destructive boundary, two tectonic plates move towards each other, causing one to be forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. This can result in the formation of mountain ranges through folding, which is the bending and deformation of rock layers due to compression forces. The Himalayas in Asia are an example of a mountain region formed by folding at a destructive boundary between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
What is salt tectonics and why does it occur?
a salt tectonics is something that occurs on a volcanoes
When occurs folding?
From UiS?
Faulting is to gently contoured mountains as folding is to what?
Folding and faulting in mountains occurs because of the movement of lithospheric plates as described in the theory of plate tectonics. Continent to continent collision compresses the crust and its sedimentary cover rocks, displacing and distorting them upwards (folding) and fracturing them (faulting). Folding and faulting can also occur in oceanic crust-continental crust collisions, in areas above subduction zones.
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.
What typically occurs along the boundaries of tectonics plates?
earthquakes
