Answer 1

folding of rock can cause the zigzag shape in the rock layers of mountains. As the Earth's crust moves and collides, layers of rock can be deformed and bent, resulting in zigzag patterns. The folding process can also create a variety of other shapes, such as arches and ridges, depending on the type of deformation and the nature of the rock layers involved.
