Rock Layer Folding Experiment - Mini Me Geology Blog
lthough the land you stand on seems like it is firmly in place, it is actually moving. The Earth's crust is divided up into pieces that are called "plates." These plates are slowly moving around the Earth. While they are moving they sometimes bump into one another which cause the rocks on the plates to fold and push their way into mountains. All rock layers are originally created horizontally. This is a simple experiment that is great for showing the possible effects when pressure is applied to horizontal rock layers.
