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.
Flat-lying sedimentary rock layers are subjected to compressional forces, typically from tectonic plate movements, which cause the rocks to bend and fold. Over time, this deformation generates folded mountain ranges as the layers are pushed together and uplifted.
the process of lithification, where layers of sediment are compressed and cemented together over time. This can result in the formation of sedimentary rock layers that are folded due to tectonic forces acting on the Earth's crust.
Igneous rocks can disturb sedimentary rock layers and formations by their movement during ascent through such layer. when they make contact with this sedimentary rocks they could result to folding and/or metamorphism.

What is the relative age of a fault that cuts across three horizontal sedimentary rock layers?A. The fault is older than the middle layer. B.The fault is younger than all the layers it cuts across.C. The fault is the same age as the top layer. D. The fault is older than all the layers it cuts across == ==

Folded mountains form when tectonic plates collide, causing the sedimentary rock layers to buckle and fold under pressure. Over time, erosion can expose these folded layers, creating dramatic mountain landscapes.
Folded sedimentary rock layers are typically caused by tectonic forces, particularly during continental collisions or the movement of tectonic plates. These forces can compress, bend, and deform the layers of sedimentary rock, resulting in various types of folds, such as anticlines and synclines. The process often occurs over millions of years and can be influenced by factors like temperature and pressure within the Earth's crust.
Sedimentary rock layers. your welcome
Igneous rocks can disturb sedimentary rock layers and formations by their movement during ascent through such layer. when they make contact with this sedimentary rocks they could result to folding and/or metamorphism.
fault-block mountain.
Folded rock layers create monoclines, synclines and anticlines.
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
sedimentary rock
Folding is when formerly flat sedimentary layers of rock are uplifted and literally tilted and folded in the mountain building process.
That would be sedimentary rock, and (honorable mention) occasionally metamorphic rock.
