Compressive stress causes the "crumpling" and folding of rock layers.
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 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.
Folding typically occurs in rock layers due to excessive heat and force. When rocks fold against each other they form interesting rock layers.

Such a fold is called a syncline.
what causes a rock to break into many layers. DOES WATER
Perhaps, using a trolley or toy car, fold aluminium foil so that it forms many layers and tape it to the front or back of the car.
You didn't say "What", you said "Which", and you didn't offer choices.
Such a fold is called a syncline.

Mountain ranges are typically associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide. The collision forces the plates to crumple and fold, leading to the uplift of rock layers and the formation of mountain ranges.

A 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).
