The surface below the crust (the earth's outermost layer of soil) is hot and sizzling (lol) so the tendency is, the rocks get too hot and of course, they melt. So with that being said, the rocks get soft and they fold instead of break. :)
If rocks are folded, the folding is younger that the youngest rock affected. If they are folded into a syncline (a U-shaped fold) the youngest rocks are in the core of he fold. The opposite is true for an anticline (a big dome-shaped fold).
Rock layers that are arched upward typically form anticlines. Anticlines are characterized by an upward curve or fold in rock layers where the oldest layers are found in the center of the fold and the youngest layers are found on the outer edges.
A downward fold in a rock is called a syncline. It is a type of fold in which the rock layers are bent downward in a trough-like shape.
the four rock layer disturbances are: tilting, intrusion, faults, and folding
Yes, an upward fold in rock layers is known as an anticline. It is characterized by the convex shape where the oldest rock layers are found at the center of the fold and the youngest layers are at the outer edges.
what causes a rock to break into many layers. DOES WATER
A Fold (anticline or syncline) - but it is not a fault. A geological Fault is a break in the rock, with the rock on one side moved relative to that on the other..
A fold where the youngest rock layers are in the center is called an anticline. In an anticline, the rock layers are folded upwards, creating a convex shape with the oldest layers on the outside and the youngest layers in the center.

A fold
Such a fold is called a syncline.
A syncline fold is concave downward, meaning the youngest rock layers are found in the center of the fold and the oldest rock layers are found on the outer edges of the fold.
If rocks are folded, the folding is younger that the youngest rock affected. If they are folded into a syncline (a U-shaped fold) the youngest rocks are in the core of he fold. The opposite is true for an anticline (a big dome-shaped fold).
The youngest rock layers are in the center of a syncline fold. This is because syncline folds form when rock layers are bent downward in the middle and upward on the sides, causing the youngest layers to be in the center.
