The surface feature that is produced when horizontal layers of sedimentary rock rise without being folded is a?
fault-block mountain.
How are fault lines important in the formation of folded mountains?
Fault lines are important in the formation of folded mountains because they serve as zones of weakness in the Earth's crust where rock layers can move and fold due to tectonic forces. When pressure builds along these fault lines, it can cause the rocks to bend and fold, eventually leading to the creation of folded mountain ranges. The movement along fault lines can uplift and deform the Earth's crust, resulting in the formation of complex folded mountain structures.
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
A fault that occurs on folded rock layers is likely to be a thrust fault, where one block of rock is pushed up and over the other. This type of fault is common in areas where horizontal compression forces have folded the rock layers.

What fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart from one another and tensional stress is placed on rock layers?
A fault called a normal fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart and tensional stress causes the rock layers to break and move along the fault line. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the extensional forces acting on the rocks.

What type of fault is at a folded mountain?
Reverse Fault
The type of mountain that forms when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward is the?
A folded mountain. This type of mountain is formed by the folding of rock layers due to compressional forces in the Earth's crust, creating a series of folds and uplifted areas. Examples include the Appalachians in North America and the Zagros Mountains in the Middle East.
What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
What do you call mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
Fault-block mountains. These are created when rocks along a fault are uplifted and tilted, forming steep mountain ranges with prominent peaks and valleys. An example of such mountains is the Sierra Nevada in California.
What is the break in layers of rock?
