• by compression

• by volcanic activity

What occurs during folding?

• When the rocks change color. 
• When the rocks form and create a landslide. 
• When the rock layers combine to create a mountain.
• When rock layer bend under stress.

What happens in strike slip faults?

• Fault blocks move past each other horizontally. 
• Fault blocks move past each other vertically.
• The faults do not move at all. 
• The faults do move but not enough to cause anything. 

What happens in a normal fault?

• The faults move apart and completely separate.  
• The faults move side to side because of pressure. 
• The faults move in a normal way (down) due to gravity.
• The faults do not move because they are normal faults.

What is compression?

• The stress or squeezes when rock push together. 
• The movement of rocks underground.
