crumpling of rock strata due to compression

Answers

Answered by swagboyarsh

Answer:

Compression squeezes rocks together, causing rocks to fold or fracture (break) (figure 1). Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries. Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Rocks under tension lengthen or break apart.
