What occurs to flat-lying sedimentary rock to form folded mountains? Rock layers are tilted by vertical subsurface pressure Vertical movements occurring along fault lines Plates collide causing rock to push upward together A block of rock lifted at a fault line
What occurs to flat-lying sedimentary rock to form folded mountains? When enough pressure builds up in rock, it breaks. Sometimes, this break creates a fault. Fault-block mountains are formed when a fault lifts a block of rock.
