Rock layers, when under extreme pressure, can crumple into troughs and peaks. Also, upheavals can cause large areas of horizontal layers to tilt and be more vertical.

Would rocks layers not be found in their original order?

Rocks layers are usually found in their original order, with younger layers on top of older ones, due to the principle of superposition. However, geological processes like folding, faulting, or erosion can disrupt the order of rock layers, leading to situations where they may not be found in their original sequence.


When rock layers bend due to stress?

"Folding" is the term that describes the bending of rock layers due to stress.There are different types of Folds and these include:Anticlinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have an upward-arching folds.Synclinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have a downward, trough-like folds.Monoclinal Folds: This is when both rock layers ends are horizontal.


Rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?

I beileve the awnser would be Sedimentary Rocks because you know that if Igneous rocks are weathering, they turn into sediments. And if the sediments are squeezed or stuck together it would make a sedimentary rock. And the rock particles are sediments.


Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?

You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.

What is the graph of an exponential decay function would have a curve upward along the x-axis towards negative infinity?

Your question seems very confused. The normal convention of the Cartesian coordinate system would place negative numbers below the x axis, so that any curve approaching negative infinity would curve downward, not upward.


How many layers do metamorphic layers have?

a metamorphic rock is a rock that has been changed from one rock to another by heat and/or pressure.....they amount of layers would depend on what kind of rock.....all rocks have a different amount of layers sorry

What kind of rocks would you find fossils in and why?

Fossils are found in sedimentary rock because it is layers of sand, rock, and sediments, and the bones fall between the layers where the form into fossil's.


Why is demand for labor curve downward sloping?

I believe in economics we assume that firms are rational and because of this a rational firm would not employ additional labor if it caused a decline in the total output of the firm.


What type of rock would fossils most likely likely be found in?

Fossils are most likely to be found in sedimentary rocks. This is because these rocks form from layers of sand, dirt, and debris that accumulate over time and can preserve the remains of plants and animals. Sedimentary rocks often have distinct layers that can hold fossils within them.
