Pressure from the sediments above compact the sediments down creating a rock. A fold would be the result of oh say allot of pressure. Sedimentary rocks a generally layered strait across so if it's folded it may be metamorphic. They form when igneous or sedimentary rocks are but under immense heat and pressure.

Folded sedimentary rock layers are usually caused by?
crustal movement occurring after deposition
The surface feature that is produced when horizontal layers of sedimentary rock rise without being folded is a?
plateau
How does Wegener's hypothesis explain why earth's surface must be moving?
These layers of sedimentary rock were once horizontal. Then crustal movement folded and tilted them.
What is the process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed?
The process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed is called strata.
Where can strata can be found sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.

What do you call the layers in sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock layers. your welcome
What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
What rock formed in layers?
sedimentary rock
What land form do folded rock layers create?
Folded rock layers create monoclines, synclines and anticlines.
What is the process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed?
The process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed is called strata.
In science terms what is folding?
Folding is when formerly flat sedimentary layers of rock are uplifted and literally tilted and folded in the mountain building process.
How does Wegener's hypothesis explain why earth's surface must be moving?
These layers of sedimentary rock were once horizontal. Then crustal movement folded and tilted them.
What is a rock made of layers that are cemented together?
Layers of sediment which have undergone lithification are called sedimentary rock.
What type of rock forms in layers?
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
Where can strata can be found sedimentary rock or igneous rock?
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.
