Folding of rock
Is that the correct answer?
Yes, the correct answer is "folding of rock". The folding of rock layers in mountains can create a zigzag or wavy pattern in their formations.
Use this paragraph: Carlon is using two wooden blocks to model the movement of Earth’s plates. He pushes one block forward and the other block backward, rubbing their surfaces together.
Which Earth feature is he modeling?

is that right?
No, the correct answer is "thrust fault". A thrust fault occurs when one block of rock is pushed over another block in a horizontal or nearly horizontal direction. In the given scenario, where one block is pushed forward and the other block is pushed backward, it mimics the movement of Earth's plates in a thrust fault.
so is it thrust fault or strike slip fault
My apologies for the confusion. In the given scenario, with one block being pushed forward and the other block being pushed backward, it is modeling a strike-slip fault. In a strike-slip fault, the rocks on either side of the fault plane slide horizontally past each other. Therefore, the correct answer is strike-slip fault.
Use this paragraph: Layla drew a diagram of forces acting on the rock in Earth’s crust. She drew arrows pointing inwards, representing forces pressing on the rock.
Which formation is represented by the diagram?
