What happend to the rubber slippers when bent?

Which is the correct answer for this questionThe law of ______states that new rock layers are always deposited on top of existing rock layers.?
New rock layers are always deposited on top of existing rock layers. Therefore, deeper layers must be older than layers closer to the surface. This is the law of superposition.
Does sandstone preserve fossils?
No single rock preserves fossils, but they're found mainly in sedimentary rock beds due to the amount of pressure exerted as it layers over millions of years.
Layers and layers of sand are deposited on the sea bottom to form what rock?
Seasonal, cyclical, or other event based depositions of sediment are called strata.
Would you be less likely to find fossils in metamorphic rock than a sedimentary rock?
Metamorphic rock can contain fossils, but since these rocks form under intense heat and pressure where stone flows something like taffy, the fossils will be highly degraded and distorted.Sedimentary rock forms when layers of silt are Why_are_you_less_likely_to_find_fossils_in_metamorphic_rock_than_sedimentary_rockon the bottom of a body of water. When conditions are right, layers form quickly and are not disturbed and little oxygen is present, dead creatures that fall on that bottom can become entombed in preserved at the layers are increasingly compressed, eventually cementing into rock.
What is a bend in layers in rock?
A fold
What are layers of rock that bend can produce a downward fold know as?
A Syncline is where lays of rock bend downwards and then curve up. An Anticline is the opposite: layers of rock bend upwards and then down.
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.
What is the process when rock layers bend and wrinkle?
Folding.
When layers of rock bend?
