Rocks Under Pressure Quick Check

The correct answer is a fold mountain.

The diagram represents a fold mountain.

To determine which formation is represented by the diagram, we need to understand the forces acting on the rock in Earth's crust. The paragraph mentions that Layla drew arrows pointing inwards, representing forces pressing on the rock.

One formation that involves forces pressing on the rock in Earth's crust is a fold mountain. Fold mountains are created when two tectonic plates collide, causing compression and folding of the Earth's crust. The inward forces represented by the arrows could indicate the compressive forces involved in the formation of fold mountains.

To choose the correct option from the given responses, we should select "a fold mountain" as the formation represented by the diagram.
