What is a fold where both ends of the rock layer are are horizontal?

A fold where both ends of the rock layer are horizontal is known as a "recumbent fold." In this type of fold, the rock layers are bent over so that the axial plane is nearly horizontal, causing the limbs of the fold to lie parallel to the ground. Recumbent folds typically form under intense compressional forces, often associated with mountain-building events. They can indicate significant geological stress and deformation in the Earth's crust.


A fold in which both limbs are horizontal is?

A synclinal fold.


What is Angle in open fold?

In origami, an open fold is a fold where the flap or layer is opened up rather than folded over. The angle in an open fold refers to the degree at which the flap or layer is opened up from its original position. This angle can vary depending on the design or model being created.


What is the area in a fold called where the limbs met at the bend in the rock layer?

The area in a fold where the limbs meet at the bend in the rock layer is called the "hinge." This central part of the fold is characterized by the maximum curvature and is where the layers of rock are most tightly compressed. The limbs of the fold extend outward from the hinge, representing the less curved portions of the rock layers.


What is a recumbent fold?

Basically, if we cut away the earth to look at the strata (the rock layers), they form an "S" shape (forwards or backwards). Use the link and check out a drawing. You'll have to scroll down to figure 101-7 to see it. The picture says it all.

Folds in which both limbs remain horizontal are called?

When both limbs remain horizontal, the fold is called a recumbent fold. This type of fold indicates a significant amount of compressional stress in the rock layers, causing them to deform in this manner.


What is a fold in which the axial plane is horizontal?

the axial plane of a recumbent fold is horizontal and one limb is rotated more than 90 degree and called overturned limb.

The compass direction of a fold or of a rock layer exposed at the surface along a fold is called the?

The compass direction of a fold or a rock layer exposed at the surface along a fold is referred to as the trend of the fold. This trend helps geologists determine the orientation and direction of the folding of rock layers in the Earth's crust.
