Most rock layers (and ALL sedimentary layers) start out flat.
Folding changes the angle of lie (even to perpendicular and beyond).

what occurs when rock layers bend due to stress?
folding
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.
Folding of rock layers occurs where pieces of the Earth's crust?
hi
What can disturb rock layers?
the four rock layer disturbances are: tilting, intrusion, faults, and folding
How do folds indicated that deformation has happened?
folding happens when rock layers bend under stress
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.
When does folding of rock layers occurs where pieces of the Earth's crust?
Folding typically occurs in rock layers due to excessive heat and force. When rocks fold against each other they form interesting rock layers.
Why would newer rock layers ever be below older rock layers?
Due to faulting or folding.
What is the process when rock layers bend and wrinkle?
Folding.
In geography terms what does folding mean?
Folding is the bending of rock layers due to stress.
What is the force that causes rock layers to crumple and fold?
Compressive stress causes the "crumpling" and folding of rock layers.
